Mutton Rogan Josh

Ingredients

• 700g mutton, cut into 1 inch pieces 
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1 cinnamon stick, halved 
• 6 cloves
• 4 black cardamoms 
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp ginger paste
• 1 tbsp garlic paste
• 2 tbsp Kashmiri chilli powder (it's not spicy much, mainly used for coloring)
• 1/2 tsp fennel powder 
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder 
• 1 tbsp meat masala (optional)
• Chicken stock
• 1/2 cup whisked yogurt 
• 4 tbs oil (mustard oil is recommended)
• Salt to taste 

Method
- Heat oil in a casserole, add cinnamon stick, cloves, black cardamoms, bay leaves, onion and cook until the onion is golden brown, stir occasionally to avoid getting burnt.
- Add in ginger & garlic paste, stir well. In a few minutes, the raw smell of ginger goes off, add mutton, meat masala and mix. Braise the mutton for 3-4 minutes or until it gets colored evenly.
- Then add the stock enough to cover the mutton, season with a good pinch of salt and cook under cover for 30 minutes or until the mutton is soft.
- Mix the chilli powder with 1/2 cup of water then add into the rogan josh along with fennel powder and ginger powder. Mix thoroughly then add in whisked yogurt and stir well.
- Cook the rogan josh for further 10-15 minutes or until the gravy a bit thickens.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or paratha.
