1. Picante Kashmiri Rogan Josh Recipe
The first two Indian dishes that come to anyoneโs mind when we think of fresh mutton are Laal
maas and Rogan Josh. The first one is known for the fiery hot taste, but the other one is from
the beautiful heavenly state of Kashmir that all can enjoy. Both are from different regions but
have one thing in common, red meat. If you are yet to plan your dinner menu for tonight, give
our Rogan Josh recipe a try. Trust me, itโs worth all the effort!

Method
1.Lightly roast the whole garam masala in a kadhai (leave out black cardamom and bay leaf).
Let them cool and grind them in a dry mixer.
2.Take a small bowl with Kashmiri chili powder, saunf powder, and saunth powder and
make a paste with little water.
3.Take a large, heavy-bottom pot, heat oil, and ghee on medium heat. Put the black
cardamom and bay leaf and let them crackle.
4.Once roasted, add sliced onion and keep stirring till they are light golden brown. Keep
the heat medium and keep going to save them from burning; it could take up to 10 minutes
to get the right color.
2. 5. At this stage, add the ginger garlic paste and cook for a few minutes.
6. Add mutton now, and sear it from all the sides.
7. Once browned from all the sides, add the dry masala paste that we prepared.
8. Add whisked Dahi and saffron at this stage. (optional)
9. Stir well and let the mutton cook for some time. Season with salt, and you can add ยฝ a
cup of water to loosen the curry.
10. Transfer all the curry to the pressure cooker and let it cook for 10-15 minutes
on
medium heat.
11. When you open the cooker, you will notice that the mutton is soft, and the oil
is separated on top. This indicates that the masalas are well cooked.
12. At this stage, add the dry garam masala powder and cook for few minutes with the open
lid.
13. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with boiled rice or roti.
