  4. Next day or after 8 hours, take out mutton from refrigerator and add in 1 tablespoon tandoori masala (if you don't like your meat to be more spicy, you can avoid this spice) and 1 tablespoon olive oil or any other cooking oil. Mix again nicely to coat the spices well to the meat. Cover and again keep aside for an hour.

  5. After an hour, transfer the meat pieces to a big piece of aluminium foil or to a baking dish. I used a baking dish, as I generally avoid direct contact of foil to food in my baking.

  7. Pre heat oven at 190 degree C for 10 minutes.

  8. Place the meat in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

  9. After one hour take out the dish, remove the cover and flip the meat pieces. Be careful to handle the meat pieces, as they will be very hot along with the juices.

  10. Again bake them for about 45 minutes or until you smell a nice barbeque flavour. Take out the dish carefully.
