Rogan Josh

Preparing the Lamb

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.

Cooking the Onions, Garlic, and Ginger

In the same pot, add the finely chopped onions and cook until they become soft and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.

Adding the Spices

Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, red chili powder, and salt to the pot.

Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices release their aroma.

Adding the Tomatoes and Yogurt

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until they soften and release their juices.

Gradually stir in the whisked yogurt, a little at a time, to prevent it from curdling. Mix well with the tomato and spice mixture.

Simmering the Lamb

Return the browned lamb cubes to the pot, stirring to coat them with the sauce.

Add enough water to cover the lamb, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

Cover the pot and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Final Adjustments

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.

Serving

Garnish the Rogan Josh with freshly chopped cilantro.
