Ok this is a recipe We love and make often. My husband's name is Joshua and we call him Josh so his birthday normally screams for Rogue (n)JoshIt is exactly the same as the one I make not one change. For Karina's reference the coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper go in after step no. 9 and should be sauteed with the other mixture for another 30 secs before the meat is added. Fay Almeida

Fantastic flavour. Had to use cardamon seeds as couldn't find black cardamon pods, also used cumin instead of black cumin for same reason. Served this to 4 others and all loved it.

Superb blend of spices. This smelled fantastic as it cooked and the taste was sensational. I added some chilli powder and cooked mine in a pressure cooker for 25 minutes. This saved cooking time and the lamb was deliciously tender. Thank you so much for a fantasic recipe, it went very well with Fay Almeida's Roti. Yum, yum !

The recipe doesn't tell you when to put in half the spices, very strange!! Not having made a curry before I found this most difficult. I put in half the spices when the curry went on simmer. Thankfully it turned out great! But it would be nice to now when to put the spices in!! Regards K

Oh, yum! The whole spices in this make it really tasty and its really a lovely dish. Like Spinner, I didn't have the black cardamom pods, so I just used green and I didn't have black cumin, so I just used the regular kind. Nicely spiced and a lovely red color. I made it with beef. I just realized that I forgot to ever add the garam masala, but it was still great. This is one of those dishes that is better the next day, so I highly advise making this ahead to let the flavors blend, because then it will really wow you!

TERRIFIC! In my constant quest to continue to learn to cook proper Indian food, I tried this recipe. My husband loved it, as did my co-workers! I put it in the crockpot for 1.5 hours on high at step 12, then reduced to low for another 2 hours (we had to go out). Did not re-boil to thicken the curry but it was still wonderful--incredibly tender with a nice, not overpowering, spice. Thanks, HappyBuunny!

Oh my, this was OUT OF THIS WORLD! This is without a doubt the best Rogan Josh I've ever eaten. There is nothing negative to say about this one. Notes on my "adjustments": I left out the yogurt as my newborn has many food allergies and dairy ends up in my milk. It tasted FABULOUS even without the yogurt. I just omitted steps 7 and 8 and went on with the recipe. I used whole coriander and cumin seeds and ground them in my coffee grinder turned spice mill. :D I also used 4 tablespoons of a pre-mixed garlic-ginger paste I buy at our local Indian grocery. FABULOUS! And, yes, this one smells simply wonderful cooking. My house has never smelled so great! :D Thanks for such a fabulous recipe. See picture I've submitted. Mmm...

This was a very flavorful dish! I think I may have burnt the spice mix a little, because the sauce tasted a little bitter to me. I had to add a little sugar to mellow it out. Next time I may try making this in the crockpot after I have browned everything up.

Wonderful authentic Indian recipe, smelled great as it simmered. I too could not find cardamon pods so I used about 1 and a half teaspoons ground cardamon. My only change for this recipe would be to use lamb next time (my butcher wouldn't cut it up for me and only had lamb chops so I used stew meat instead!) Also, I wanted a little more "kick", so maybe I'll add chili powder or some anaheims next time.
