Classic Rogan Josh fingerlicking mutton curry with load of spices.
This curry is very fragrant and sumptuous, and can be made anywhere from mild to red-hot, depending on how much spice you prefer. A large number of rogan josh variations exist. Here I am sharing the recipe which I adapted from hawkins pressure cooker recipe cookbook. As you all know I’m a great fan of chef harpal singh recipe and I have his Rogan Josh recipe too which totally different version from the one I’m sharing today. Although there are a lot of ingredients, this is easy to make and very worth the while. It pairs well with Naan(Check here for Homemade Butter Naan), Roti or any Flat Breads, or even with Ghee Rice and Kashmiri Pulao.

Hi Girl, For every cup of almonds bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil. Add the almonds to the boiling water. After couple of minutes, remove from heat and strain the water. Press the almonds between your thumb and index finger and the peel comes right off. Hope this helps!
Cheers!
