Cooking Method

Take a heavy  bottomed Pan.  Put Oil in it and heat it on moderate flame. Mix Meat pieces with yogurt nicely, so that all pieces get evenly covered with it. When  oil is hot, add Meat pieces covered with yogurt. Go on turning the Meat with a spatula or spoon.

Add Cloves, Cumin Seeds, Salt and a pinch of Asafoetida & Cinnamon sticks. Cook meat until water dries up, approximately 25 minutes on a medium heat. When the Juices from the meat or water from the meat dries up, then begin to cook meat in the oil, continue turning till Meat pieces turn golden-brown.

Now add half a cup of water, the Red Chili Powder, Tej-patta, Turmeric and the Sugar. Go on turning the Meat till it becomes a brownish red color and almost all water dries up. Be careful that the Meat pieces do not stick to the bottom of the Pan.

Add again 1 cups of water, Dry Ginger and Fennel Powder. Stir and mix well and let simmer on low heat, till the Meat becomes tender and the gravy is red, thick and oily. Now add the pure ‘Ghi’ or Butter (Optional) and ‘Garam Massala‘. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes more. ‘Rogan Josh is ready for serving.

Serve with Rice.
