• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef in batches and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
• To the same pot, add the onion and season with salt. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened and starting to brown. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add the peppercorns, green and black cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon, red chiles, and bay leaves. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the turmeric, red pepper powder, cumin, coriander, fennel, and fenugreek leaves and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
• Return the browned beef to the pot and stir to coat in the spice mixture. Add the whipped yogurt and stir well to combine. Add enough water to cover the meat and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 2½ hours, stirring every 20 minutes and adding more water as needed, until the beef is cooked through and tender.
• When the curry has an hour of cook time left, make the roti: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, water, oil, and salt. Mix to combine, then knead with your hands until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl and no longer sticks to your fingers. Add a bit more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
• Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and cover with a damp cloth again.
• Working 1 at a time, use a rolling pin to roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 6-8 inch (15-20 cm) round.

Cook the roti in the dry skillet for about 2 minutes, until starting to puff up, then turn and cook on the other side for 30-60 seconds more, until the roti is cooked through with dark brown spots. Remove from the skillet and spread with a bit of butter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Ladle the curry into bowls and garnish with cilantro. Serve with the hot roti.
• Enjoy!

LAMB SHANK ROGAN JOSH

Steps:

• With paper towels, gently pat any excess moisture from the lamb shanks. Set aside.
• In a gallon-sized Ziplock or other bag, combine the flour, chili powder, coriander, ginger, cumin, salt and nutmeg. Add the lamb shanks and shake to dust the shanks in the mixture.
• In a large dutch oven (I use my big, round Le Cruset pot), heat the oil over medium heat. Add the dusted lamb shanks from the bag. Reserve any remaining flour/spice mixture from the bag, setting it aside.
• Brown the lamb on all sides for about 7 to 10 minutes, careful not to let the flour/spice mixture burn. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside.
• Add the thinly sliced onion and celery to the dutch oven and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion is golden brown. Add the reserved flour/spice mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Stir in the stock and yogurt until well mixed.
• Return the browned lamb to the dutch oven, turning the shanks so that they're covered in sauce. Add the cracked cardamom pods and saffron and bring to a gentle boil. Cover tightly with dutch oven lid and cook at medium low for 90 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes (and tomato sauce, if you feel the there's not enough liquid in the pot) and cook for an additional 40 to 60 minutes until the lamb is tender and falling away from the bone.
• Separate the meat from the bone/fat/gristle and serve with the sauce (which I prefer to put through a gravy-fat separator, first).
• Serve hot with rice and naan. Saag aloo or curried lentils also go well with this dish!
• Note: make sure your spices aren't stale or the flavorings in this dish simply won't be nearly as delicious.

TOMATO AND CHICKEN ROGAN JOSH CURRY (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• Combine the yoghurt and curry paste in a large glass or ceramic bowl (I ended up using stainless steel as it was the only bowl that was big enough) and then add the chicken to coat and cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to marines (mine was in for nearly 1 1/2 hours).
• Heat oil in the pressure cooker (though I did it in a separate frypan as I was making ahead but use the pressure cooker if you are going to be cooking the chicken straight away) and add onion and cook until golden, this took me about 10 minutes but I had wedges of onion, if thinly sliced would take about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the cooked onion and diced tomatoes (see intro) to your marinated chicken mix and place in the pressure cooker, (at this point I used an electric pressure cooker), I sealed in the pressure cooker and set the timer for high pressure for 15 minutes, it took 18 minutes to come up to pressure and then cooked for 15 minutes and then did fast release and then served over rice and with steamed vegetables and naan bread on the side (original recipe recommended pappadums).

• Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan and gently sauté spring onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until tender and then combine with the mince, yoghurt, garam masala, chilli paste, seasonings and 2 heaped tablespoon chopped coriander (I omitted).
• Form the mixture into 8 rissoles and flour each one and place on 1 - 2 lightly oiled baking trays and then cook the rissoles in the oven for about 15 minutes, turning after 7 minutes and then drain well (I had very little fat to drain as I used a very lean mince).
• While the rissoles are cooking, heat a little oil in a fry pan (he recommended a wok though on the programme he used a fry pan) and sauté the brown onion and 2 sliced garlic cloves until tender.
• Add the curry paste with the cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves and mix well and briefly cook to toast the spices. and then add about 1 cup coconut cream with the tomatoes, 1/2 cup stock and seasonings and cook for about 5 minutes until reduced quite heavily, adding more coconut cream and/or stock as needed, taste for seasoning.
• Arrange the rissoles on a large plate (or individual plates), spoon plenty of sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining coriander (omitted).
• Serve with steamed rice (I also serve with some steamed vegetables).

LAMB IN FRAGRANT GARLIC CREAM SAUCE (ROGAN JOSH)

Steps:

• Put the ingredients for the marinade except the ghee into a food processor and blend until finely pureed.
• Pour the marinade over the lamb, the pour the ghee over it.
• Mix thoroughly to coat the lamb pieces, then cover and let the meat marinate at least 1/2 hour at room temperature, or 2 hours in the fridge.
• Transfer the meat and the marinade into a large dutch oven.
• Bring the contents to a boil over med-low heat, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the lamb is very tender (about 2-2 1/2 hours depending on the quality of the meat).
• Stir frequently to prevent the sauce's sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
• Heat the 4 tbl ghee in a small frying pan on high heat.
• When it is very hot, add the garlic, and fry for 15 seconds stirring very rapidly.
• Add the cardamom, cumin, and garam masala.
• As soon as the spices begin to sizzle and become fragrant (3-5 seconds), turn off the heat and pour the spiced butter and spices over the meat.
• Add the cream and stir to combine the ingredients.
• Allow the lamb to then rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, taste for salt, then reheat the meat until piping hot and serve.
• Note: sometimes too much moisture evaporates during cooking which causes the ghee to separate from the sauce; If that happens, add a little milk or water, a tbl at a time, until the fat is re-incorporated back into the dish; Don't degrease since the ghee is a flavoring for the dish.
• Note 2- Rogan Josh improves in flavor with keeping, so I usually make it the day or two before I plan to serve it; It will keep in the fridge for 3 days, and freezes well.
• Note 3- serve with basmati rice.
