Rogan Josh Paste
This is our family recipe for a Rogan Josh Paste. We use this with lamb to make an aromatic dish hailing from Kashmir. Our Rogan Josh Paste is Gluten Free and Dairy Free.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion roughly chopped
2.5 cm root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tbsp tomato puree
400 g can of whole tomatoes
3 cardamom pods
Method:
Place the oil, onion, ginger and garlic into a pan and saute for 1 - 2 minutes on a low heat. At this point the onion should be starting to soften.
Add the dry spices and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomato puree and cook for a further 30 seconds. Stir regularly.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add the cardamom pods and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
Place into a blender and blend the sauce until you reach a smooth consistency.
Additional Notes:
Remember to mark the jar as ‘Rogan Josh Paste’ for storage! Keep in the fridge for up to a week. I make this ahead of time as part of my meal preparation and then use our Lamb Rogan Josh recipe.
