I had just bought beautiful lamb curry cubes from this online butcher here and decided to make this Michelin star chef’s rogan josh. Boy, was I glad I followed his recipe instead of buying those ready made rogan josh in a jar!
It’s so easy to make but watching on YouTube and pausing, reading his recipe in description took a lot of time so let me break this down.
First step is to marinade the lambs cubes with yogurt and saffron and ginger garlic paste. I used 500g of lamb curry cuts and 2small tubs of yogurt, followed by a pinch of saffron.
Cover and marinade for a few hours in the fridge or overnight.
Then prepare the spice mix. One is to fry and the other is to add to the lamb mixture when it’s half cooked.
Chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and turmeric powder. I used more chilli powder because mine is a milder version.Then it’s time to fry. In hot oil, add cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves and star anise. I followed the chef’s advice to pound them first to release the oils. Then add sliced onions. I used about two small Bombay onions here.Once the onions are browned and nicely fried (not too dark and crunchy) add the lamb cubes with all the yogurt marinade. Simmer and let it cook.When it’s half cooked, add the powdered spices and let cook again till lamb is tender.It’s down when meat is tender and the oils surface.I served it that day with some homemade flatbreads.
