As it’s starting to cool down here, we’ll be making this delicious, rich & tomatoey rogan josh to keep us warm. It is best when slow cooked in a cast iron pot, and is a great meal to make the day before eating.

  • 400g plain yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp Herbie’s Rogan Josh Spice Blend
  • 3 tbsp ghee, coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 6 brown onions, peeled and finely diced (or chopped in a food processor)
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, to serve

Instructions

  2. Combine lamb, yoghurt and spice mix in a bowl and leave for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24hrs).
  3. Heat the ghee or oil and cook onions over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until softened and golden.
  4. Add garlic for 5 minutes, then stir in the yoghurt coated lamb plus all the marinade.

  6. Place lid on the cooking pot and cook in the oven for 2.5-3 hours until meat is very tender. If cooking the day before, simply turn off the oven and leave the dish in overnight.
