Thermomix Lamb Rogan Josh

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixers have been asking me to do a Lamb Rogan Josh recipe for 2 years now… I haven’t been game enough to try it until now!

Another common request is for great recipes using lamb shanks in the Thermomix. This is a beautiful, authentic recipe is rich and flavoursome – just like the perfect Rogan Josh.

I have included instructions on how to cook it using lamb steak for a quicker version, as well as shanks – personally we prefer it with lamb steak.

Enjoy!

  1. 5 stars
    This is a winner for my dinner. I marinated for only 6 hours and the flavor was just right. Thank you for the Wonderful recipe.

  2. 5 stars
    Absolutely sensational! I’ve made this twice now once with lamb shanks and the other lamb rump. Made the marinade in thermo then threw it all in the slow cooker. Full of flavour and so moorish. Sent some home with my parents and mum said dad wasn’t far off licking his plate clean then called me to say how amazing it is. Yet again Nik, you have blown this recipe out of the water. Kudos to you and the skinny team 💜

  3. This is lovely. Complex flavours, not too hot. Do you use the whole of the rogan josh paste to marinate the lamb?

  4. This was such an amazing curry – so jam packed with flavour.

    Will definitely be making this again.

    Thanks for another sensational curry recipe Nik!

  5. These are the best lamb shanks ever!! I made the paste in the thermomix then did the cooking in the slow cooker. Absolutely delicious with so much flavour. Will never use another lamb shank recipe again. Thanks again Nik for another amazing recipe.

  6. I think the lamb should be cooked on reverse. As per the recipe, I cut the lamb into small pieces, but by the end it was like bolognaise. I would put the lamb in the simmer basket or else on reverse next time.

  7. Could I use Beef Rump Steak instead of lamb? Has anyone tried it with beef? Or another cut of beef? Thank you!

  8. Divine as always! I use to be scared of recipes like this, but after getting brave and making your butter chicken, there is no turning back!
    Leftovers frozen and I’m going to make pies with it for another nights dinner.
