Categories     Main Course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

500 grams bone-in mutton ((1.1 lb. tender lamb))
2 to 3 tablespoons ghee (or mustard oil (refer notes))
¼ teaspoon asafoetida ((hing, skip if you don't have))
½ cup curd ((yogurt at room temperature, preferably fresh and not sour))
¾ teaspoon salt ((adjust to taste))
1 to 1½ tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder ((or 2 tbsps. Kashmiri red chili paste))
1 cup hot water ((or mutton stock))
1 bay leaf ((skip if you don't have))
3 to 4 cloves ((or ¼ teaspoon ground cloves))
1 inch cinnamon ((or ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon))
3 green cardamoms ((or ⅓ teaspoon ground cardamoms))
1 black cardamom ((skip if you don't have))
1½ teaspoon fennel seeds powder
¾ teaspoon dried ginger powder ((or substitute 1 teaspoon ginger paste))

Steps:

  • Heat oil or ghee in a heavy bottom pot and add bay leaf, green cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves and black cardamoms. (If you opt for the ground spices, add them later.)
  • When the spices begin to sizzle in oil, add mutton and sear it for 1 to 2 minute on a high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and fry for another 4 to 5 minutes until the meat is slightly brown.
  • While you fry the meat, add yogurt to a mixing bowl. Also add ground spices - red chilli powder, fennel powder, dried ginger powder and salt.
  • Whisk all of them well. If your yogurt is too thick (like Greek yogurt), add 3 to 4 tablespoons of water or stock and whisk it well until smooth.
  • Once the meat is light brown in color, add hing to the oil. Take the pot off the stove and slowly stir in the spice and yogurt mixture.
  • Mix well and place the pot back on the stove. Cook covered for 3 to 4 minutes on a medium heat.
  • Pour 1 cup hot water or stock. Cook covered on a low heat until tender, adding more hot water if required.
  • Stir rogan josh every 7 to 8 minutes. When it is done, the mutton pieces should be soft, tender and fall off the bone.
  • The cook time depends on the kind of pot, source of heat and the intensity of heat. Do not forget to add more hot water (if required) as you cook.
  • The gravy in Rogan josh is neither runny nor too thick but is slightly thick as the some of the bone marrow seeps into the liquids. This results can be achieved only by slow cooking the dish.
  • Taste test and add more salt if required. Turn off the heat and rest for few hours before serving. This helps to develop the flavors.
  • Serve rogan josh with Butter Naan, Basmati Rice, Paratha or Roti. It is best served with plain rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 pounds lamb front leg
3 tablespoons yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 lemon, squeezed
1 cup mustard oil
10 cloves
6 green cardamom pods
2 black cardamom pods
4 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons ginger paste
1 tablespoon garlic paste
2 teaspoons asafetida
Salt (to taste)
4 teaspoons Kashmiri red chile powder
2 teaspoons fennel powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups yogurt, whisked
1/2 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Serving suggestions: basmati rice, chapati or naan

Steps:

  • For the lamb preparation: Chop lamb into bite-size pieces. In a bowl, combine lamb, yogurt, salt, turmeric and lemon juice and mix together. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the lamb with water to draw out impurities and any gamey odors.
  • For the curry: Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mustard oil and allow it to smoke. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Spoon in the ginger paste and garlic paste and saute until slightly browned, about a few minutes.
  • Toss in the lamb pieces and saute until the lamb begins to shrink and develop a nice shine, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the asafetida and salt and saute for 1 minute.
  • In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup water with the chile powder, fennel powder, garam masala, ginger powder and turmeric. Add this mixture to the saucepan. Saute until you see the oil bubbling up, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the yogurt and stir well for about 2 minutes. Add 2 to 3 cups water.
  • Cover the pan and simmer on medium-low heat until the lamb is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the fenugreek leaves. Allow it to settle down, covered, for about 20 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, spoon the curry out into bowls. Garnish with the cilantro and serve with a side of basmati rice, chapati or naan.
