Steps

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic-ginger paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the Rogan Josh spice blend and Kashmiri chili powder (if using). Stir for 30 seconds until aromatic.

  5. 5

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Reduce the heat under the pot to low and gradually stir in the yogurt, ensuring it doesn't curdle.

  7. 7

    Return the lamb to the pot. Add salt and enough water to almost cover the lamb. Bring to a simmer.

  8. 8

    Cover the pot and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.

  9. 9

    Adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a swirl of yogurt if desired before serving.
