directions

  • Put the ginger, garlic, and 4 tablespoons water in blender;Blend well until you have a smooth paste.
  • Heat the oil in a wok to medium high heat; Brown the meat cubes in several batches and set to one side.
  • Put the cardamom, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, and cinnamon into the same hot oil; Stir once and wait until the cloves swell and the bay leaves begin to take on color.
  • Now put in the onions; Stir and fry for about 5 minutes or until the onions turn a medium brown color.
  • Put in the ginger garlic paste and stir for 30 seconds. Add the ground coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne and fry for 30 seconds until the "raw" smell of the spices disappears; add a splash of hot water if the mixture starts to stick, this will prevent thhe spices from burning.
  • Add the fried meat cubes and juices and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Now put in 1/6 of the yoghurt; Stir and fry for 30 seconds or until the yoghurt is well blended.
  • Add the remaining yoghurt, a tablespoon at a time, in the same way.
  • Stir and fry for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Now add the rest of the broth (a little more for beef than lamb).
  • Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, scraping in all browned spices on the sides and bottom of the pot.
  • Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for about an hour if lamb and two if beef.
  • Every 10 minutes or so, give the meat a good stir.
  • When the meat is tender, take off the lid, turn the heat up to medium and boil away some of the liquid.
  • You should end up with a tender meat in a thick, reddish brown sauce.
  • All the fat that collects in the pot may be spooned off the top.
  • Sprinkle the garam masala and black pepper over the meat before you serve and mix them in.

  1. Amazing recipe good taste and not that spicy PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All Must Try this recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     
  2. The recipe doesn't tell you when to put in half the spices, very strange!! Not having made a curry before I found this most difficult. I put in half the spices when the curry went on simmer. Thankfully it turned out great! But it would be nice to now when to put the spices in!! Regards K
     
  3. Excellent! Consider reducing cayenne if you don't like spicy food. I substituted regular ground cumin because I didn't have any black cumin, but otherwise made as directed.
     
  4. This rogan josh is delicious! DH and I made it for dinner a couple of nights ago with no modifications. We served it over basamati rice. Thanks for posting. We would definitely make this again.
     
  5. One of the best curries I have ever made - this recipe is perfection! I followed it to the letter and ended up with incredibly tender and flavourful beef in a beautiful thick sauce which we could not stop eating right out of the pot! We ate this with fresh cooked roti and couldn't stop talking about how great it was. Thank you for posting such an outstanding recipe!

  1. Fantastic flavour. Had to use cardamon seeds as couldn't find black cardamon pods, also used cumin instead of black cumin for same reason. Served this to 4 others and all loved it.
