Ingredients
Ingredients: Rogan Josh Spice Blend: 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 3/4 teaspoon powdered ginger2 tablespoons sweet paprika 2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 4 teaspoons ground cumin 4 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper Curry: 2 pounds lamb (stew meat, shoulder, or leg), cut into 1-inch cubes salt and black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon coconut oil 2 medium onions, diced (about 2 cups) 1 cup coconut milk 1 1/4 cups water
Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine all the Rogan Josh spices and mix with a fork. In a large bowl, sprinkle the meat generously with salt and pepper, tossing with your hands to coat.

2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, then add the lamb in batches and sear on all sides. Here’s a tip from me to you: Respect the contact. Put the meat in there and let it be for at least 5 minutes, so it gets a nice brown crust – resist the temptation to stir it. Give it some private time, and it will reward you for your generosity

3. When the meat is brown, add the chopped onions and cook until the onions begin to soften and show brown spots.

4. Add the Rogan Josh spice blend to the pan and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. The spices really come to life in the fat, so let them revel in it.
Pour the coconut milk and water into the pot. Mix well, turn the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, allowing the meat to braise in the coconut milk for 1-2 hours.

5. When time’s up, remove the lid and let the sauce thicken a bit, about 2-3 minutes.
