Lamb Rogan Josh Curry
Slow-cooked and full of aromatic spice, this lamb Rogan Josh is a wonderfully comforting curry that's well worth the wait. Tender pieces of lamb are gently simmered with warming spices, tomatoes and stock until meltingly soft, creating a rich, flavourful sauce. Served with fluffy basmati rice and your favourite Indian accompaniments, it's a perfect dish for a relaxed weekend meal or sharing with family and friends.
