Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs boneless lamb, cut into bite-sized chunks
  2. 2 large onions, finely sliced
  3. 3 ripe tomatoes, pureed
  4. 1 cup full-fat yogurt
  5. 1/4 cup cooking oil or ghee
  6. 3 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  7. 2 teaspoons ground fennel seeds
  8. 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  9. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  10. 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  11. 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  12. 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  13. 4-5 green cardamom pods
  14. 2-3 black cardamom pods
  15. 4-5 cloves
  16. 2-inch cinnamon stick
  17. 1 bay leaf
  18. Salt to taste
  19. Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Lamb:
    • In a large bowl, combine the lamb chunks with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 4 hours or, for best results, overnight in the refrigerator. This step ensures that the lamb absorbs the rich flavors of the marinade.
  2. Sear the Lamb:
    • Heat oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the marinated lamb and sear until golden brown on all sides. Once browned, transfer the lamb to a plate and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. Add asafoetida, ground fennel, ground coriander, ground cumin, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Cook until the spices release their fragrant oils.
  4. Introduce the Tomatoes:
    • Pour in the pureed tomatoes, stirring well to incorporate them into the spice mixture. Allow the tomatoes to cook until the oil begins to separate, creating a rich, reddish-brown base for the Rogan Josh.
  5. Reunite with the Lamb:
    • Return the seared lamb to the pan, ensuring each piece is coated with the aromatic tomato-spice blend. Add green cardamom pods, black cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, and a bay leaf for an extra layer of complexity.
  6. Simmer to Perfection:
    • Pour enough water to cover the lamb and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer on low for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and infused with the aromatic spices. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once the Lamb Rogan Josh reaches the desired consistency, garnish it with fresh coriander leaves. Serve this culinary masterpiece hot, accompanied by steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread, allowing the flavors to dance on your palate.
