How to make Rogan Josh

Great choice! Rogan josh is a delicious Kashmiri lamb curry that’s filled with amazing flavors. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through the process:

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of lamb, preferably boneless and diced
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 2 medium-sized onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons of ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri chili powder (adjust for spiciness)
• 1 cup of plain yogurt, whisked
• 1 cup of water
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
4. Now, add the diced lamb to the pot and cook until it browns evenly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. In a bowl, combine the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and Kashmiri chili powder. Mix well.
6. Lower the heat slightly, push the lamb to one side of the pot, and add the spice mixture to the other side. Toast the spices for about a minute until they release their aroma.
7. Mix the spices with the lamb, ensuring it’s well-coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
8. Gradually add the whisked yogurt to the pot, stirring continuously. This will help create a rich and creamy gravy.
9. Pour in the water and season with salt according to your taste. Give it a good stir.
10. Cover the pot and let the curry simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together. You can add more water if needed.
11. Once cooked, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
