Rogan Josh (Kashmiri Lamb Curry) image

This is one to make with love! This is the one my friends always request. I usually make it the night before and the flavour really develops over night. I make my own Recipe #177110. Australian measurements used. I've not timed the making of this so times are a guesstimate.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 dried red chilies, seeded
2 tablespoons ground blanched almonds
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon white poppy seeds
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 large onions, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon saffron strand
4 tablespoons ghee (or oil)
4 cardamom pods, bruised
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 teaspoons kashmiri garam masala (Kashmiri Garam Masala)
salt, to taste
750 g lean lamb, cut into large cubes
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Paste:.
  • Soak chillies in hot water, to cover, for 5 minutes. Dry toast almonds, ground coriander, cumin and poppy seeds in pan over low heat until spices brown slightly and become aromatic. (Shake pan so spices don't burn.) Place into a food processor with garlic, ginger, onions and chillies and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little of the chile soaking water to help the blending.
  • Dry toast the saffron strands in the small pan. Be careful not to burn. In a small bowl crush with the back of a spoon then add 2 tablespoons of boiling water to dissolve. Add to the paste mix and set aside.
  • Curry:.
  • Heat ghee in a large, heavy-based saucepan and fry cardamom pods, turmeric and paste mix and fry, stirring constantly, until ghee begins to separate from mixture.
  • Stir in yoghurt, a spoonful at a time.
  • Add tomatoes, garam masala and salt and fry, stirring, for 5 minutes.
  • Add lamb and stir over high heat to coat with with spices.
  • Reduce heat to very low, cover and cook for 1 hour or until the lamb is very tender. (It should not be necessary to add any liquid). Stir occasionally to prevent spices from sticking to base of pan.
  • Serve sprinkled with coriander leaves and accompany with rice.
