🍛 What is Lamb Rogan Josh?

Lamb Rogan Josh is a classic Indian curry that traces its roots to the beautiful valleys of Kashmir. Traditionally made with tender cuts of lamb, this dish is famous for its deep red color, rich aroma, and slow-cooked texture. The meat is simmered for hours in an onion and tomato-based gravy seasoned with warming spices and finished with generous helpings of desi ghee (clarified butter), which gives the curry its unmistakable depth and richness.

At Delhi Indian Cuisine, our chefs follow time-tested recipes that bring out the true flavor of this royal dish—keeping it authentic, gluten-free, and unforgettable.

🥘 The Magic Behind the Recipe

The real charm of Lamb Rogan Josh lies in its preparation. It’s not a curry you rush. It’s meant to be cooked slowly, allowing the lamb to soak up all the spices and become melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Here's how we do it:

🔸 Step 1: Choosing Quality Lamb

We start with boneless lamb that is trimmed and cut into evenly sized chunks. The quality of the lamb is critical because it defines the texture and richness of the dish. At Delhi Indian Cuisine, we use only premium cuts of lamb that cook evenly and deliver succulent bites every time.

🔸 Step 2: Preparing the Masala Base

Our gravy begins with a slow sauté of finely chopped onions in desi ghee. The onions are cooked until golden brown, releasing their natural sweetness. Then we add a puree of ripe tomatoes, fresh ginger-garlic paste, and our proprietary blend of whole and ground Indian spices—including coriander, cumin, fennel, cinnamon, black cardamom, bay leaves, and Kashmiri chili powder.

This is the heart of the dish—the "masala" that gives Lamb Rogan Josh its iconic flavor.

🔸 Step 3: Slow Cooking for Maximum Flavor

The lamb is added to the masala and slow-cooked for hours on low heat. This allows the meat to tenderize naturally while absorbing the spicy, buttery gravy. The result? A curry that’s deeply satisfying, with a rich texture and layers of flavor in every bite.

We finish with more desi ghee and a sprinkle of garam masala to round off the dish with a fragrant finish.

🌾 Gluten-Free & Rich in Nutrition

Not only is our Lamb Rogan Josh gluten-free, but it’s also loaded with nutritious ingredients. Lamb provides high-quality protein, essential B vitamins, and iron, while the onions, tomatoes, and spices bring in antioxidants and digestive benefits. And yes, we do use ghee, but in moderation—because it enhances taste and supports gut health when consumed wisely.
