Simple Rogan Josh

This delicious dish is based on lamb and is traditionally a fairly mild yogurt based sauce. However, by adding enough indian green chiles, it can be made as spicy as desired.

This particular recipe was gifted to me by the owner of an indian grocery store in Boulder, CO. There's only one, so go there to reward him!

Step 1 Roast a Boneless Leg of Lamb

First, roast a leg of lamb with indian seasonings. You want to do this by first cooking at high temperature (500F) to make the fat crispy, and then lower the temperature to 200F for about an hour to bring up the internal temperature.

Seasoning is done by unwrapping the leg, and spreading the Rogan Josh spice paste, garlic and ginger paste, and olive oil in the inside of the leg. Next, the leg is folded back together, laid on the pan fat up, and coated with a bit more olive oil and Rogan Josh spice paste. Cut the fat at even intervals.

When the lamb is cooked throughout, remove and let stand for 20 minutes. Cut up into bite sized cubes.
