Lamb Rogan Josh
« on: May 09, 2008, 08:57 AM »
I used Chris303's Recipies but used a slightly slower cooking method and modified the recipie a little

Balti sauce

Lamb/chicken
2 onions, chopped
1.5 tomatoes, chopped
0.5 TBSP salt
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1.25 TSP Balti spice mix (I used shan rogan josh spice mix)
0.5 TSP turmeric
1 inch cinnamon
1 black cardamoms, broken open
1 black peppercorn
0.5 TBSP fresh chopped coriander
1 TBSP veg ghee

Lob everything except the coriander and oil into a pan, add 300ml water, bring to boil, cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes

The chicken/lamb should be ready at this point so remove

Add the coriander and oil and return to the boil, stir for 2 minutes

Fish out the cinnamon and cardamom and blend the mixture.


Then onto the spice?s ect

[Ingredients]

2 tbsp x Veg Ghee
0.5 tbsp x Rogan Josh Spice mix
0.5 tsp x Chile Powder
1 tsp x Paprika Powder
1 x 250ml Balti base sauce (preheated)
0.5 tbsp x Tomato Paste (mixed with 1 tbsp water)
2 tbsp x Chopped Tomatoes
1 tbsp x Finely chopped onions
1 x Garlic Clove (finely chopped)
1" x Fresh Ginger Root (finely chopped)
1 tbsp x Fresh Chopped Coriander
30ml x Fresh Yogurt

I found that the dish had a little too much ghee but maybe thats down to no cooking it quicker and at a higher heat, this was my first proper curry and im pleased with the results the other half certainly enjoyed it, it's a good base to start from i think.

Any thoughts/critisim's please let me know

Bought mixes are used quite often. I believe most T/A's etc up here use a fair bit of bought in mixes. I managed to get pataks tandoori paste yesterday to check it out and guess what? It tastes exactly like Lamb Tikka in the Kebabs and curries that I buy locally! It saves time and keeps well. That would suit a business down to the ground. ::)
