Jamie Oliver Lamb Rogan Josh is a slow-cooked Indian-style lamb curry made with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, yoghurt, and aromatic spices. It’s simmered until the lamb turns tender and the sauce develops a deep red colour typical of traditional Rogan Josh.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 800g lamb shoulder, cut into chunks

  • 3 tablespoons oil or ghee

  • 2 onions, finely sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger

  • 2 tablespoons tomato purée

  • 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes

  • ½ cup plain yoghurt (room temperature)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½–1 teaspoon chilli powder (to taste)

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 3–4 cardamom pods

  • 400ml lamb or chicken stock

  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Brown the Lamb

Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the lamb on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Onions

Add more oil if needed and cook the onions until golden and soft.

3. Add Garlic, Ginger, and Spices

Add garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, chilli powder, cinnamon stick, and cardamom. Cook for 30 seconds to release aroma.

4. Stir in Tomato Purée

Add tomato purée and cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen the flavour.

5. Add Tomatoes and Yogurt

Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Add yogurt gradually while stirring so it doesn’t split.

6. Return the Lamb to the Pot

Place the browned lamb back in and mix well.

7. Add Stock and Simmer

Pour in stock, season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer for 1½–2 hours until the lamb is completely tender.

8. Finish and Serve

Stir in garam masala at the end. Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve hot.
