A whole mutton leg is the cut to reach for when you want a centrepiece roast or a slow-cooked biryani, since the bone running through it keeps the meat moist and adds a depth of flavour boneless cuts simply don't carry. Left whole, it suits a long, slow roast rubbed with garlic, ginger, and warm spices, or a long-braised curry where the meat is meant to fall away from the bone by the time it reaches the table. Being a single large piece, it also holds up well to being portioned into smaller pieces at home if you'd rather cook it as a curry cut instead of roasting it whole. For roasting, a low, slow oven with the leg covered for most of the time keeps it from drying out, with the cover removed toward the end to let the outside brown properly. If making a curry or slow-braise, browning the leg or its cut pieces first, then simmering gently for a good stretch of time, breaks down the connective tissue until the meat is properly tender. When selecting a leg, look for a healthy pink-red colour and firm texture, with fat that's white rather than yellow. Keep it well chilled and cook within a day or two, or freeze if planning ahead.
