Mutton Rogan Kashmiri

🇮🇳 Indian

Kashmiri rogan josh in its true form — chilli-colour, fennel-scent, no tomato. Mutton rewards patience with a gravy you'll dream about. Plate with naan and a cold beer, frankly.

Prep 20 min Cook 60 min Serves 4 Hard

Ingredients

  • Yogurt1/2 cup, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste2 tbsp
  • Kashmiri Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion3, thinly sliced
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Coriander Powder2 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1 tsp
  • Whole Garam Masala Spices2 tsp
  • Bay Leaf2
  • Mutton500 g, on the bone
  • Red Chili Powder2 tsp
  • Mustard Oil3 tbsp
  • Fennel1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the mutton with yogurt, paste, spices and the kashmiri chili powder; cover and let it sit overnight if you can.

  2. 2

    Smoke-point the oil, add whole spices, and let them darken a shade — the base of everything.

  3. 3

    Brown the onions hard; the darker they go (without burning), the deeper the final gravy.

  4. 4

    Turn the mutton and its marinade into the pot and sear hard, then pour in hot water and scrape the base.

  5. 5

    Cook patiently — the gravy should coat the meat, not swim — and rest before serving with the fennel.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
