Mutton Rogan Josh Recipe with step by step pictures. This Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh Recipe is made with Mutton and Masala. Succulent lamb cooked in a tangy red sauce.
Mutton Rogan Josh Recipe
I have heard about rogan josh before and tasted it in one of the restaurant i visited, but never thought of cooking it at home. Whenever i order it in restaurant here, then serve it just like normal curry, it is made using an onion tomato base. But i have heard that rogan josh needs no onion, garlic, tomato. It is made with plain yogurt and spice powders. One day a viewer requested it and i decided to give it a try.
About Mutton Rogan Josh Recipe
I wanted to make it the authentic way and use only yogurt and spice powders. Luckily i had all the spices on hands specially black cardamom which i bought months back when i visited nuts and spices in chennai. It is a must spice because it gives the aroma and flavour to the dish.
Also all the spices which are added in this curry is must because that what makes rogan josh, rogan josh. Rogan josh should be red in colour thats why it is called as rogan josh because once you finish making this curry the rogan the red oil should float on top of the curry. In the authentic recipe they add a root of a herb called as rattan jot which gives the red colour to it.
Since i don't have that and it is difficult to find that for us. I suggest you to buy kashmiri red chilli powder and add it in this curry which gives the red colour naturally. Some people will add a touch of saffron in this too. But i didn't add. I kept it plain and simple. This curry taste best when served with hot steamed rice, naan or paratha.

Thanks for the recipe, Aarthi..one question I have is that is the kashmiri lal mirch very spicy, or it just adds to the color in the dish?
Aarthi
@Anonymouskashmiri chilli powder is not that spicy, it just adds colour to the dish

Is it necessary to add black cardamom

Hi, Love your blog.. I have never tried cakes. Your pictorial representation tempted and motivated me to try. And Indeed it was successful. I am a regular follower of your blog and facebook page.
2 question, here is it necessary to fry mutton, cant we just add it and cook it? Is it necessary to add black cardamom, what's the difference between green and black cardamom.
Aarthi
@Anonymousgreen and black are completely diff..You can skip that as well.
kant
Please donot use LAMB meat instead use GOAT meat. It will taste better.

Hii
My name is Sharnal
I am a practising chef and i came across your recipie and in that i saw u did not use saffron and onions onionsa will become the base of your gravy and the gravy u made only using curd will not be sufficient for a family of 4

Namaskar,
I was searching for an authentic Rogan Josh recipe. Most of the websites I found, apparently had variations of or something totally unrelated to the authentic recipe, and each different than the other. What you have presented here is the kind of well researched knowledge I was looking for. Thank you! You really have a nice blog.
Wish you all the best in everything! Have a lovely day.

sho

Varun
Does the recipe calls for 1/2kg or 1kg meat. M a bit confused with the meat ratio relative to the other ingredients. .
Aarthi
it is for 1/2 kg
Vikash Mishra
Wow!! amazing recipe for sure I am going to cook mutton rogan josh by following your instructions thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Mrschax
Aartihi,
How do you stop the yogurt from splitting?
It still tastes good but does stick as nicely to the mutton since the yogurt is split.
Mohit Atri
Mutton rogan josh looks delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Tarun
Didn't turn out well.. it was too spicy probably due to the high quantity of spices being added to 1/2 kg Mutton and 1 cup of Curd. You should probably check that.
Aarthi
You can actually reduce the chilli powder to your taste.
