Rogan josh recipe
- Cuisine: Indian
This is a famous Kashmiri dish and it's something that everyone loves as the lamb becomes so meltingly tender and the spices smell so enticing as you’re cooking them. It's easy to make at home if you have all of the ingredients ready before you start. I use the same weight in onions as the meat – so 1kg meat to 1kg onions. The choice of pan is also very important – you need the ingredients to sit ¼ the height of the pan, so it's quite deep and it should have a heavy base to retain temperature.
Ingredients
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 bay leaves
2 tsp whole cloves
3 black cardamom
1 tbsp green cardamom
1 piece cassia bark
1 tsp fennel seeds
4 small dried chillies
1kg red onions, sliced
½ tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chilli powder
3 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp fresh ginger paste
2 tsp fresh garlic paste
1 tbsp chilli puree
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 kg cubed lamb leg or shoulder
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Tomato wedge, julienned ginger and coriander sprig, to serve
Preparation
Heat enough oil to cover the base of the pan until almost smoking. Add bay leaves, cloves, black and green cardamom, cassia bark, fennel seeds and dried chillies. The black cardamom is the most fun – it always explodes and all those flavours go into the oil. Then the onions and some salt so the onions caramelise faster…you need them brown and sweet for Rogan Josh.
While the onions are cooking, measure out the powdered spices. Add the ginger and garlic pastes to the pan then the powdered spices. Stir in chilli puree and a little water to stop the spices from burning. Add tomato and tomato puree and a good pinch of salt and stir well to combine.
Now turn the heat up high to add the meat. You want to sear the meat. Stir well so that all of the meat pieces are coated. Add a little more water.
Cover with a lid and cook for 35-40 minutes.
Just before serving add the chopped coriander, but don't cook it.
Garnish with tomato, ginger and coriander.

Hot Tips
Chillies
To keep the flavour but avoid heat, keep the chilli whole or remove seeds. Break dried chillies in half for more heat in cooking.

Carp
Considered a pest by many Australians, the European carp inhabits many of the continent's waterways. It is however prized by many communities including the Chinese and some Middle Eastern nationalities.
