Directions
Rogan Josh,DH found this recipe on a blog site and asked me to save and will hopefully be making in the next day or so. Please note I made the following changes from the original recipe – the original finely chopped the onion, they used 3/4 can of whole plum tomatoes and chopped but did not specify size of can, they used a generous handful of coriander while used spinach, they used 2 dessertspoons of natural yoghurt and used 3 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt. I boned a 1.3 kilo leg of lamb and got 725 grams of lean meat and I also threw the shank into the pot. I served over rice with naan bread and did not make the salad. Also the original poster said to cook for 2 hours but I found it needed 3 hours to get to the point it was thick and glossy and there is a lot of gravy for the rice. Please note I have not allowed time for boning the lamb and cutting it up but it took me 20 minutes. 19th January – made again using 2 legs of lamb (which I deboned) got just under 1.8K of meat and used double recipe and it took 4 hours to cook, at a slow burble or slow simmer, and added lamb shanks as well and there was no meat left on them after the cooking time (next time I will also put the leg bone in as there was still some meat there [still haven’t got my boning skills that fine as not to leave some meat :lol:] and I think the marrow from the bones help to thicken the sauce and add flavour as well), this time I also added beans in the last half hour of cooking and shredded spinach just before serving and the DH also suggested potatoes being put in when the onions are cooked but I vetoed that for us for if I serve with rice that is too much carb for me as a diabetic unless I pick the potatoes out of my portion but something to keep in mind for those that do not have that problem (I usually have a small tomato, cucumber and lettuce salad on the side and I do serve with naan bread).

First Pour a Couple of Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil Into the Pot and Heat on High Until Very Hot and Then Throw in the Finely Chopped Onions and Stir Fry Until the Pieces Start to Go Soft and Translucent and Then Add the Garlic and Ginger and Keep Stir Frying (they Used Frozen Chunks Which They Had Defrosted). |

Then Put the Lid on and Immediately Transfer to the Lowest Possible Flame Burner and Then Go Off and Do Something Else of Half and Hour and Then Come Back After the Half Hour and Take the Lid Off and Give It a Stir and Then Put the Lid Back on and Let It Simmer For Another Half Hour and Repeat This For Around Two and Half Hours, Checking Every Half Hour and You Will Notice That the Consistency of the Mixture Is a Bit Thicker and the Colour Is a Bit Redder/Browner. Mine Needed 3 to 3 1/2 Hours but My Flame Was Really Low and It Was Only Just Simmering, So I Think the Burble Stage/Light Simmer Would Be Better. |

at This Point It Is Done, Taste It in Order to See If Any More Salt or Chillie Powder Needs Adding and Make Sure That Lamb Pieces Are Tender and not Chewy. |
