Lamb Rogan Josh

bbc.co.uk

I'm a foodie, a chowhound, a gastronaut, and I love to cook!

This was kind of bland and boring. Made ahead 3 days to let flavours improve but still mild and a bit boring. Also, very hard to get the whole aromatcs out from borwning the lamb so big mouthfuls of cardamon and clove were not pleseant. However, cooking the normal diced lamb for 50mins made it perfectly soft and enjoyable to eat as opposed to pan frying leaving it tough and stringy.
