"Another version of the recipe that I posted, before. This version has no lemon juice so is smoother. The use of ghee helps give the dish a touch of class. This version is for STARDUST. So try it and post me another review. Please."

This was a super tasty dish! Really impressed by it. Yum yum. I did make some alterations for my own tastes, I added an extra tsp of cumin, chilli and turmeric and it was perfect medium spice for me. I would like to try making this into a lower fat version as I'd live to have it more often but it is very fattening. Next time I will use sunflower oil at the beginning and use only ghee to blend with the garam masala I will also use yoghurt or single cream in place of double cream. Instructions could have been a little clearer (I peeled my tomatoes before adding them!) but was delicious nonetheless!

I made this for a curry night and all the family enjoyed it. I can't comment on the flavour (I only eat poultry and fish/seafood) but everyone who ate the curry said it was wonderful. Only suggestion is to make the directions a little more clear. Thanks Brain H for posting your recipe.

This was our first attempt at making Rogan Josh and it was enjoyed by all. though the DM thought it was a bit too spicy but still ate it all up (please note she does not like spicy/hot). DH would like to try this again using beef. Thank you Brian H.
