Mutton Rogan Josh

A fragrant Kashmiri-style curry with tender mutton, yogurt and aromatic spices.

Ingredients

• 500 g mutton, preferably bone-in
• 3 tbsp oil
• 1 cup yogurt, whisked
• 2 onions, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 2–3 green cardamoms
• 1 black cardamom
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3–4 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt to taste
• 1½–2 cups water
• 1 tsp garam masala

Method

1. Heat oil and fry the whole spices for 30 seconds.
2. Add onions and cook until golden.
3. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
4. Add mutton and cook on medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring well.
5. Lower the heat. Add yogurt gradually, stirring continuously so it doesn’t split.
6. Add chilli powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander and salt.
7. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add water.
8. Cover and cook on low heat for 45–60 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. A pressure cooker will take about 5–6 whistles, depending on the meat.
9. Finish with garam masala and serve with rice or naan.
