KASHMIRI ROGAN JOSH / LAMB ROGAN JOSH KASHMIRI ROGAN JOSH / LAMB ROGAN JOSH
Rogan josh is an spicy aromatic red curry of kashmiri origin. Traditionally the dish is cooked with mutton or lamb, you could however use any meat or vegetable you like. The long slow cooking required in this recipe is to make the lamb tender and draw as much flavour as possible out of the whole spices. Other meats or vegetables will not require this, if using beef i would still probably cook for a long time.I recommend you have your whole and powdered spices measured out and mixed together ready to throw in when required. I usually will have several small bowls with the spices for each different stage of the process ready to go. This recipe has three separate instances where spices are added. First is the tempering whole spices, second is the powdered spices added after browning meat and the third is at the end of the cooking process to season the dish.As always if you're missing a few spices don't worry about it, it will still taste delicious. There are also substitutions you could make like the mace blade can be replace with 1/2 tsp nutmeg powder. The nutmeg powder would go in later with the other powdered spices as you will burn it if you throw it in with the whole spices at the start.
