Ingredients:
- 1 lb lamb, diced
- 250g yogurt
- 1 tbsp malt vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 4 cardamom pods
- 3 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 3 tsp ground fennel
- 1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 3/4 tsp chili powder
- 125ml lamb or vegetable stock
- 1 tsp garam masala
- Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Lamb: In a large bowl, combine the diced lamb, yogurt, malt vinegar, half of the minced garlic, and half of the grated ginger. Mix well to ensure the lamb is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare the Spice Mix: In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Cook the Onions: Add the finely chopped onions to the pan along with the remaining minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned lightly and softened.
-
Add the Ground Spices: Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground fennel, sweet paprika, and chili powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the spices are aromatic.
-
Incorporate the Lamb Mixture: Add the marinated lamb mixture to the pan, stirring well to coat the meat in the spice mixture. Allow the lamb to cook for a few minutes until it begins to brown slightly.
-
Simmer the Curry: Pour in the lamb or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
-
Finish with Garam Masala: Uncover the pan and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the lamb is tender. Just before serving, sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and stir to incorporate.
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the Rogan Josh with fresh coriander leaves and mint leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or your favorite side dishes.
