Make a few cuts in the leg of lamb and place it in a deep dish. in a dry frying pan, roast the fennel seeds, cinnamon sticks, green cardamom pods, star anise, and mace over low heat for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until they release their aroma. let them cool slightly and grind them into a fine powder.
Rub the spiced powder all over the leg of lamb, including the cuts. let it marinate for 40 minutes while preparing the marinade.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the white onions until they turn light brown. turn off the heat and let it cool. set aside half of the fried onions for garnishing. in a blender, add the remaining half of the fried onions, garlic cloves, ginger, bird's eye chilli, and 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt. blend until smooth and fine to form a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the blended paste with the remaining greek yogurt, kashmiri red chilli powder, saffron, and meat tenderizer. season with salt to taste and mix well. pour this marinade over the leg of lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated. cover and let it marinate at room temperature for 5-6 hours, then refrigerate overnight to allow the lamb to absorb the flavors of the spices.
Preheat the oven to 180ÔøΩc. remove the lamb from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for an hour before cooking. place the lamb in an ovenproof baking dish and add the warm water. reserve any leftover marinade for the gravy.
