Rogan Josh Lamb Meatballs is a delightful fusion of the famous Indian Rogan Josh curry with the universally loved meatball. This recipe combines succulent lamb mince with rich, aromatic spices, resulting in tender and flavorful meatballs that are perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, curry paste, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball. You should be able to make around 16-18 meatballs. Set them aside on a plate.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned all over. They do not need to be cooked through at this stage as they will simmer in the sauce. Remove the browned meatballs and set aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and chicken gravy, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Simmer the Meatballs:
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 20 minutes, until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to ensure the meatballs cook evenly.
5. Finish the Dish:
- Once the meatballs are cooked through, stir in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is creamy and well blended. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Serve the Rogan Josh lamb meatballs hot over steamed rice, naan, or your favorite side. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro if desired.
Tips:
- For extra tenderness, mix the lamb mince, curry paste, bread crumbs, and egg gently to avoid overworking the meat.
- Using fresh garlic and onion will enhance the overall flavor of the dish; chop them finely for an even texture.
- If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for sufficient time, as it helps them absorb the rich flavors of the Rogan Josh curry.
- For a creamy texture, stir in the Greek yogurt at the end of cooking and ensure the heat is on low to prevent curdling.
Enjoy these Rogan Josh Lamb Meatballs served over a bed of fluffy basmati rice or with warm naan bread. This meal not only promises a hearty, flavor-packed experience but also brings the essence of traditional Indian cuisine to your table. Happy cooking!
