Rogan Josh Penzeys Recipes

ROGAN JOSH - PENZEYS

Steps:

• Cut meat into stew-sized cubes, brown in fat (do this in batches to avoid steaming the meat). Remove meat, but leave all the drippings and oil.
• Brown the onion in the same pan. Add Rogan Josh and salt, stir for one minute.
• Return meat to pan along with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. Slowly blend in water and yogurt.
• Cook 1-2 hours over low heat. At the end, raise heat to reduce sauce until thickened (you may add a small amount of cornstarch disolved in water.).
• This would probably work well in a pressure cooker.
• Serve with roasted potatoes, or over rice or noodles.
