Rogan Josh is a traditional Kashmiri curry made with tender pieces of lamb simmered in a rich and aromatic sauce of yogurt, garlic, ginger, and a blend of Indian spices. It’s known for its deep red color and flavorful, yet mild heat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg lamb (shoulder or leg), cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil or ghee
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, whisked
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 green cardamom pods
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup water or broth
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown.
  2. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in chili powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and salt. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Stir briefly.
  5. Add lamb and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Lower heat and slowly stir in the whisked yogurt to avoid curdling.
  7. Add water or broth, bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours until lamb is tender.
  8. Uncover and simmer for another 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  9. Adjust seasoning, garnish with chopped coriander, and serve hot with rice or naan.

Notes

  • Use Kashmiri chili powder for authentic color without excessive heat.
  • Can substitute beef or goat for lamb if desired.
  • Tastes even better the next day after flavors meld.
  • For a richer texture, stir in a tablespoon of cream before serving.
