 3.Finally add in green chilles,coriander leaves and mint leaves.

Step2:
Transfer the marinated meat to a vessel which has a air tight lid,so that no steam can escape.
 Take a small cup,fill it with desi ghee and place it in the middle of the marinated meat.
Now heat a charcoal to red hot in colour and slowly using a spoon put it inside the cup containing desi ghee.
Immediately close the lid and leave this vessel aside for 40minutes.

 Step3:
 Throw away the charcoal piece and add the remaining ghee to the marinated meat.
Also add in oil(use the oil that was left after frying onion).

Step4 :
Transfer the mixture into a baking tray(preferably use a large one)so that the meat layer is thin.
 Preheat the oven at 180degrees for 10minutes.
 Put your baking tray in the oven and cook till about 45minutes.
 The meat should turn brown in colour.
 Take care not to open the grilling knob.
 For a nice roasted brown colour you can grill for 2-3 minutes at the end (be very careful not to burn the meat).
 Lastly garnish with sliced onion,lemon and coriander leaves.
