Lamb Yoghurt Rogan Josh

Lamb Yoghurt Rogan Josh

Ingredients:

• 800g lamb (shoulder or leg, cut into chunks)

• 1 cup Bekaa Dairy Natural Pot Set Yoghurt

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 large onion, finely chopped

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• 2 tablespoons Rogan Josh curry paste (or homemade spice blend)

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped

• 1 cup water or beef broth

• Salt to taste

• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

• Steamed rice or naan (to serve)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   In a bowl, combine the Bekaa Dairy Natural Pot Set Yoghurt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and half of the garlic and ginger. Stir well. Add the lamb chunks and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavours to infuse.

2. Cook the Base:
   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Garlic and Ginger:
   Add the remaining garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

4. Cook the Spices:
   Stir in the Rogan Josh curry paste (or your spice blend) and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the spices release their flavours.

5. Add Tomatoes and Lamb:
   Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the marinated lamb along with any remaining marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes, browning the meat on all sides.

6. Simmer the Curry:
   Pour in the water or beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1-1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.

7. Finish and Serve:
   Once the lamb is tender, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Serve the Rogan Josh hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves, alongside steamed rice or naan for a complete meal.
