👩‍🍳 How to make Mutton Rogan Josh

  1. Heat oil (50ml) in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat (190°C). Add cumin seeds (5g), crackle 15 seconds.
  2. Add black cardamom (2), cinnamon (2 inch), bay leaves (2). Toast 15 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped onions (220g), cook 6 minutes until softened and edges turn golden-brown.
  4. Add ginger-garlic paste (35g) and green chilies (2), cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes (250g), cook 5 minutes until broken down and oil separates.
  6. Add yogurt (100ml), stir well. Cook 2 minutes.
  7. Add coriander powder (8g), turmeric (3g), red chili powder (4g), garam masala (5g), stir 1 minute.
  8. Add mutton cubes (700g), turn to coat evenly with spices. Cook 5 minutes.
  9. Add water (800ml), bring to boil over high heat (200°C), then reduce to medium (160°C).
  10. Cover pot, simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.
  11. Remove cover, simmer 5-10 minutes until gravy reduces and coats a spoon. Meat should easily separate from bones.
