Pataks Rogan Josh Curry Paste 283 g (Pack of 6)

Product Information

In the UK, where curry is considered a national dish, lots of recipes have been adapted to appeal to our taste buds, which means not all of them are pure traditional recipes. But, they are as good and tasty as one can get. Rogan josh is prepared in 2 methods – Hindu Pandit method and the Kashmiri Muslim method. As such a lot of Kashmiri recipes vary depending on the community and region. Slow cooking does the rest of the work infusing the sauce with heaps of flavour over time. This gives the best of both worlds; beautifully tender meat and a flavoursome aromatic sauce. What are the signature flavours? Allow to simmer until the meat is good and tender. This should take about 20 minutes but it’s ready when it’s tender so don’t rush this. If you want the curry to be more fiery, you can add a finely diced red chilli pepper with the garlic and ginger.

I'm not against spicy food, and I get that curries by definition have a certain level of spiciness, but there is spicy and unbearably spicy. Rogan Josh originates from Persia and simply means ‘cooked in oil with heat’. Whilst the slow cooker isn’t designed to provide a searing heat like cooking over a stove, you get excellent results by marinating and sealing the lamb first.

Rate & review

Rogan Josh is made with stewing lamb, so it needs to be cooked long and slow (2 hours, to be exact) for the lamb to become tender and for sauce flavour to develop. Passata (tomato sauce) — I make this curry with passata, but you can also make it with chopped tomatoes if you don't mind it being a bit chunkier.

03. What is a curry paste?

In the Hindu Pandit method, yogurt is used and involves searing and braising the meat, which isn’t included in the other method. Onion, fresh ginger, and garlic are avoided. Likewise, Ghee is used in this method.

This curry is best served immediately, but it will keep well in the fridge for up to three days in an air-tight container. If you’d like to make naans, why not try one of these? Instant naans, Peshwari naans, stove top naans, keema naans, garlic naans, tandoor naans(if you have a tandoor oven), or if you’re cooking outdoors, karahi naans.
