Ingredients
FOR THE CURRY PASTE
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil divided (or use ghee)
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 large cinnamon stick
- 6 cardamom pods husks removed and crushed - use all green, or a mix of black and green
- 1 blade of mace or use nutmeg
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper chopped
- 1 2- inch knob ginger peeled and chopped
- 5 garlic cloves chopped
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
FOR THE LAMB CURRY (ROGAN JOSH)
- 1.5 pounds lamb shoulder cubed
- 1 tablespoon kashmiri chili powder or use paprika
- 1 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1.5 cups chicken stock or use water
- 2 tablespoons ground almonds or use cashews
- 1/2 cup yogurt full-fat preferred
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- For serving. Steamed rice, roti bread, fresh chopped parsley.
Instructions
- Heat half of the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium heat. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom and mace. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, or until fragrant.
- Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the onion is nicely browned and softened.
- Add the ginger, garlic, and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring a bit, until the garlic blooms. Add ¼ cup water or stock to the pot to deglaze, then scrape the brown bits from the bottom. Let the liquid reduce until almost gone.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil (or ghee) in the same pot to medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Add the lamb in batches and brown each side, 2-3 minutes per side.
- Stir in the chili powder, ground coriander, ground fennel, ground turmeric, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
- Return the curried onion-chili mixture to the pot and add chicken stock.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is fork tender. It could take longer, depending on the meat. Add a bit of water or stock to the pot if needed.
- Gently stir in the ground almonds, yogurt, and garam masala. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken up a bit. Shred the meat, if desired, and discard any bones.
- Serve and enjoy.
