Hi Phil (:Is there a reason for adding the whole spices (cinnamon, black cumin, etc.) after the onions?
whilst BIR-style has enormous benefits in terms of economy of time when cooking a chicken-based dish, lamb requires so long that the benefits of a pre-cooked base seem to me to be completely lost.
Just instinct, and not based on any research. It seemed to me that traditional Indian food has to start somewhere, and browned onions seemed a logical place to start to me. Do you think I should have fried the whole masala for (say) 20 seconds (as per Anjum Anand) before adding the onions, and if I had done so, do you think I would have detected the difference in the final dish ?** Phil.
Surely this is why you would pre-cook the lamb, hence not needing long to cook the final curry.
I work with Anjum Anand and she has given me some tips for cooking the perfect Rustic Rogan Josh which I thought you might all find useful!
