To save time, after completing Step 4, transfer everything to a pressure cooker. Add the mutton and water, and pressure cook on medium-low heat for 5-6 whistles (about 20-25 minutes) until tender.
Replace the mutton with 500g of whole button mushrooms or large chunks of paneer. Sear them first and reduce the final simmering time to 15-20 minutes.
Mutton is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the red meat, a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is essential for forming red blood cells and preventing anemia.
The recipe uses a blend of spices like ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, which are known for their potent anti-inflammatory properties that help combat inflammation in the body.
Key spices like fennel powder (saunf) and dry ginger powder (sonth) are traditionally used in Indian cuisine to aid digestion, reduce bloating, and soothe the stomach.
Rogan Josh is moderately healthy. It is an excellent source of protein and iron from the mutton. However, it also contains saturated fat from the ghee and red meat, so it's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
A single serving of Rogan Josh contains approximately 450-550 calories. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of ghee used.
The key is to use full-fat curd at room temperature. Whisk it until smooth, turn the stove heat to its lowest setting, and add the curd mixture slowly while stirring constantly until it's fully incorporated into the masala.
Yes, you can substitute mutton with bone-in chicken pieces. Sear the chicken as instructed, but reduce the slow-cooking time to about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
The best cuts are bone-in shoulder, leg, or shanks from lamb or goat (mutton). The bones and connective tissue break down during slow cooking, adding incredible flavor and richness to the gravy.
Store leftover Rogan Josh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water if the gravy has thickened too much.
