Marinade

• 500 grams Lamb shoulder or Goat meat, diced
• 1 teaspoon Spice Zen Rogan Josh Spice Blend
• ½ cup yoghurt (optional lactose free yoghurt)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Sauce

• 1 tablespoon Spice Zen Rogan Josh Spice Blend
• 2 Medium onions, pureed
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste (optional substitute with Spice Zen Fresh Ground Dried Ginger)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic paste (optional substitute with Spice Zen Fresh Ground Dried Garlic)
• ½ cup Tomato puree
• ½ cup water
• 3 tablespoon Ghee (clarified butter) or cooking oil
• Fresh Coriander, chopped to garnish
• Salt to taste

1. Combine salt, yoghurt and 1 teaspoon Spice Zen Rogan Josh Spice Blend. Add Goat/ lamb and coat well with the marinade. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or longer.
2. Heat a heavy base pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoon ghee/ oil. Add 1 tablespoon Spice Zen Rogan Josh Spice Blend and sauté. Add the pureed onion, ginger and garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, salt and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Brown the marinated goat/ lamb pieces in a separate pan with 1 tablespoon ghee/oil to seal it and caramelise the flavour. Add the browned meat to the sauce along with any leftover juices. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is tender. Adjust the water for the desired consistency and to avoid drying out the meat. Garnish with chopped coriander. Serve hot with naan or rice.
