MUTTON ROGAN JOSH & TOMATO RICE hope you like it. Its a complete meal and a lovely Sunday Lunch with Family. Have it with Papars, Raita or a fresh salad.

INGREDIENTS for the ROGAN JOSH:

  • 750 -1 kg mutton, preferably with bone marrows
  • 4 potatoes, cut into 1/2 or 1/4
  • 1/4 tsp Hing powder
  • 4 onions, finely sliced and fried til golden brown and ground to a fine paste along with-
  • 8 Kashmiri chilis
  • 1″ pc ginger
  • 10 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Oil (accordingly).

Dry grind to powder:

  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Saunf
  • 5 Cloves
  • 5 Cardamoms
  • 1″ bit Cinnamon
  • 2 Bay leaves (Alternatively these can be added whole to the Curry at the end)
  • 5 Tbsp Whisked Curd
    *Fill the empty spice jar with water and rinse the remnants, pour into the empty curd container and do the same. Use this in releasing the gravy if it’s sticking to the pan (optional).

METHOD:

Heat oil til hot. Add 1/4 tsp of Hing. After a few seconds, add the mutton. Mix well in the oil and fry til it starts browning and comes on oil. Next, add the curd. Mix and cook til the oil separates. Now, add the ground spices and give it a good mix and cook for 5 mins on medium heat til the raw smell leaves. Check occasionally to see it’s not sticking at the bottom of the pan. If it is, use the water I suggested above or use ordinary water. Next, add the remaining of the spice water and another cup of water. Stir and close the lid of the pressure cooker. After full pressure has reached, put on sim for 12 mins. Turn the stove off and release the pressure immediately. Open and check the salt, add if required. Now, add the potatoes. Mix well and cook covered for 3 mins. Add another cup of water and close the cooker and cook on sim for 5 mins after full pressure has reached. Allow the steam to release by itself then open. If you feel the gravy is less, add water accordingly and give it a quick boil for 3-4 mins. Add the powdered spices and stir lightly after a minute or two turn the stove off. The gravy should be a little thick & on oil. For those of you who are okay with chewing on the whole spices can do so. This is an alternative method and it tastes good too. (Alternative way: Here you mix the whole spices given above to the curry, stir lightly and cook covered for 2-3 mins turn the stove off.) After 5-10 mins empty into a serving dish and add a little whipped Curd over the top.
