How to make Rogan Josh
Marination
Take mutton in a bowl. Add salt and lemon juice. Mix well and leave it to marinate overnight or for 2 hours.
Preparation of Paste
Take curd in a bowl and whisk till it is smooth. Add all the ingredients given for the paste. Mix well and set aside.
Cooking
Heat ghee in a pot. Add all the tempering ingredients and sauté for a minute.
Add mutton a few pieces at a time and brown the meat. This will take around 2 to 3 minutes per batch. As the mutton browns, remove it to a plate and continue with the next batch.
When browning the last batch, add all the browned mutton back into the pot and let it heat through.
Add the curd mixture and mix well. Let this cook and brown for 10 minutes.
Add water and mix well. Add more salt if needed. Bring everything to a boil, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 hours.
Once cooked and the meat falls off the bone, turn off the heat and serve with rice or roti.
Tips & Tricks
Marinating the mutton overnight enhances the flavor.
Ensure the curd is whisked smooth to avoid lumps in the gravy.
