Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash mutton thoroughly and drain completely.
  • Grind black cardamom and cumin seeds to a fine powder. Set aside.
  • Grind green cardamom to a fine powder. Set aside.

Cooking the Rogan Josh

  • Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the mutton and stir-fry until lightly browned on all sides.
  • Add asafoetida, cloves, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, and the ground black cardamom powder. Stir-fry until well combined, allowing the mutton to release some of its moisture.
  • Add Kashmiri red chili powder and whisked yogurt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  • Add ground ginger, ground fennel, saffron strands, salt, and water. Mix well.

Pressure Cooking

  • Close the lid and cook on low heat for 8-9 whistles (or until mutton is tender). Cooking time will depend on the freshness of the mutton; fresher mutton will require less time.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Open the lid and check the mutton's tenderness; it should be meltingly soft.
  • Stir in the ground green cardamom.
  • Check the curry's consistency. If it's too thin, continue cooking until it reaches the desired thickness.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with rice or paratha.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Rogan Josh

  • Use high-quality, fresh mutton for the best results. The fresher the meat, the shorter the cooking time.
  • Adjust the amount of Kashmiri chili powder to your preferred spice level. Kashmiri chili powder adds color without excessive heat.
  • For a deeper, richer flavor, marinate the mutton in the yogurt and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Don't open the pressure cooker immediately after cooking; allow the pressure to release naturally to prevent the mutton from becoming tough.
