Name: Indian Rogan Josh (Kashmiri Lamb Curry)
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 2 h 30 min
Total time: 2 h 55 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1.2 kg Boneless lamb shoulder or leg, cubed; 45 ml Ghee or vegetable oil; 400 g Large red onions, finely chopped; 30 g Garlic paste; 30 g Ginger paste; 250 g Plain full-fat yogurt; 30 g Tomato paste; 1 stick Cinnamon stick; 6 pods Green cardamom pods; 2 pods Black cardamom pods; 6 cloves Cloves; 2 leaves Bay leaves; 3 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder (for color, not heat); 2 tbsp Coriander powder; 1 tbsp Cumin powder; 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder; 1 tsp Garam masala; 1 tsp Fennel powder; 1 tsp Dry ginger powder; 750 ml Water or lamb stock; null to taste Salt; null to taste Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

Prep and Sauté

Heat the ghee or oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, green and black cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaves. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

Onions and Spices

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Then stir in the garlic and ginger paste and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add half of the Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, fennel powder, and dry ginger powder, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Lamb and Yogurt

Add the lamb cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then gradually add the yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling. Cook until the oil separates from the sauce, about 5-7 minutes.

Slow Cook

Pour in the water or stock, add the remaining spices and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1.5-2 hours, or until the lamb is completely tender. Check occasionally and add more liquid if necessary.

Finish and Serve

Once the lamb is tender, stir in the garam masala. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh, chopped coriander before serving. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread.
