Simple Lamb Rogan Josh

• 6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 large onion, roughly chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 1/4 lbs lamb, cut into bite-size cubes
• 8 -10 cardamom pods, lightly crushed with the back of a spoon
• 1 1/4 cups lager beer

1. In a food processor, blend together the garlic, onion, ginger, all of the ground spices, salt and tomato paste.
2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole and add the lamb pieces and cardamom pods. Quickly fry until the lamb is browned all over. This may need to be done in 2 batches, depending on the size of your pan. Stir in the spicy paste and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Pour in the lager and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for about 1-11/4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the lamb is lovely and tender.
4. Leave the dish to relax for 5 minutes before serving.
