Ingredients
  • Goat or lamb – 1 kg, curry cut
For marinate:
  • Salt – 2 tsp
  • Yogurt/curd – ½ cup
  • Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1 & ½ tsp
For gravy:
  • Mustard oil – ½ cup
  • Bay leaves – 2
  • Black peppercorn – ½ tsp
  • Black cardamom – 2
  • Cardamom – 5 to 7
  • Cloves – 6 to 8
  • Cinnamon sticks – 2-inch stick
  • Onion – 4, large, thinly sliced
  • Ginger paste – 1 tbsp
  • Garlic paste – 1 tbsp
  • Hot water – 3 cups
  • Kashmiri red chili powder – 2 tbsp
  • Fennel powder – 2 tsp
  • Dry ginger powder – ½ tsp
Instructions
  1. Take the mutton pieces in a large bowl and add salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder & yogurt/curd to it. Mix everything thoroughly so that each mutton piece is evenly coated with yogurt and let it marinade for a couple of hours.
  2. Heat a large wok and add the mustard oil. Once the oil is hot, temper it with bay leaves, peppercorn, black cardamom, green cardamom, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Fry them until fragrant, for about a minute.
  3. Add the sliced onion and sauté until the onion turns golden brown, about 15 minutes on medium-high heat. Keep stirring the onion to avoid sticking.
  4. Next add the ginger and garlic paste and cook them for a couple of minutes until the raw smell is gone.
  5. Now add the marinated mutton pieces and stir them well to mix with onion mixture. Sauté the mutton on medium-high flame for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mutton pieces are browned nicely on all sides and oil starts to release.
  6. Once all the mutton pieces are nicely browned, pour hot water over the mutton, cover the kadai and let the mutton cook for 30 to 40 minutes on low heat until the meat is tender.
  7. While the mutton is simmering, whisk Kashmiri red chili powder in water. Set it aside.
  8. After about 30 minutes, pour the Kashmiri chilli powder & water mixture over the mutton. Also add fennel powder & ginger powder and mix well. Cover and cook for another 15 minutes until mutton is cooked through and has an almost fall-off-the-bone kind of texture.
  9. Once the mutton is fully cooked through, check and adjust for seasoning. If the gravy is too thick, add little water and bring to a boil. If it is too thin, boil off some excess.
  10. Your mutton rogan josh is ready! Serve it with plain white rice. Enjoy!
Notes
*Note: Do note that the number of minutes is a ballpark figure; based on the quality of your mutton, the final cooking time needs to be adjusted.
