This Lamb Rogan Josh recipe has a thick gravy and has just the right amount of spice (but not too much heat), making it a delicious homemade curry.

Making a good rogan josh is all about getting a decent curry paste, which is easy to do with basic store cupboard spices. And, you can use these spices over and over again to make loads of other delicious recipes.

What's great is that this recipe doesn't need you to spend ages marinating the meat, so you can get dinner to the table far quicker.

Ditch that takeaway menu and give this a go instead - it's super easy and you can't go wrong.

First up, you need to get your lamb rogan josh paste ready. To do this, you measure all your spices out straight into a bowl and mix with some yoghurt.

It's this point you will start to get mega hungry and the aromas of the spices make you want to eat it now!

However, it's time to get your lamb cooked.

Fry your onions and add the meat to brown it.

Then stir in your rogan josh paste, cook for a few minutes, then add in the stock and tomato puree.

The curry will start coming together but will need to be cooked through to get your meat tender.

The colour of the curry will turn to a moreish red gravy over time too.

Lamb can be a tough piece of meat, so it's worth cooking for a longer time. It can still be tender with this curry recipe if you cook it on the hob. However, if you want to cook it in your slow cooker (this is a great slow cook to get if you don't have one already) then you can adjust the recipe below slightly.

Brown the meat as normal, then put all the ingredients in the slow cooker on low for around 8 hours. Take the lid off and continue cooking for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce and stir from time to time to stop it sticking.
