What is Rogan Josh?
Rogan Josh is a magnificent curry from Kashmir, Northern India. "Rogan" means oil/fat and "josh" means heat or passion - referring to the rich, vibrant red colour and aromatic spices. Our paste contains all the authentic Kashmiri spices perfectly balanced, so you can create this classic at home with minimal effort.

- 1 jar Rogan Josh Masala paste (250g)
- 800g boneless lamb
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
- 300ml hot water
Step-by-Step Method
1. Place a large pan over medium heat and cook the Rogan Josh Masala paste for 2 mins.
2. Add the lamb. Stir well for 5 mins to seal.
3. Pour in 300ml hot water. Combine and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low-medium for 40 mins, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

Tips for Perfect Rogan Josh
✓ Use lamb shoulder or leg - becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender
✓ Cut into even pieces - ensures everything cooks at the same rate
✓ Don't rush the simmer - low and slow makes the lamb tender
✓ Stir halfway through - prevents sticking and ensures even cooking
✓ Make ahead - tastes even better the next day!
