Lamb rogan josh and naan breads go together so well creating an amazing tasty Sunday curry feast! Here I show you how to make lamb rogan josh with home-made naan breads.
This is my healthier take on a fantastic Sunday curry lamb rogan josh recipe accompanied by home made naan breads.
The original recipe calls for ghee and oil, which contribute significantly to its calorie content.
In my version, I have removed these ingredients to make it lighter and healthier.
Despite these changes, the flavours remain rich and satisfying.
The homemade naan breads are the perfect complement to this dish.
Once you've tasted this, you'll never want to buy pre-made curry or naan breads again!
But folks, I assure you that taking away the ghee and oil hasn't impacted the deep flavour of this Sunday curry at all.
The spices used in this recipe produce a dish full of robust flavour.
It's a dish that's not swimming in additional, unnecessary fats that can impact the waistline!
You can enjoy a delicious meal without worrying about excess calories.
Plus the sauce has a rich and tasty creamy consistency.
And this is achieved without the addition of any cream!
Why Sunday Curry?
We love to make the weekend end with a good home made healthy Sunday curry, just like this lamb rogan josh with naan breads.
Our traditional Sunday Roast dinner was swapped a number of years ago for a Sunday curry option.
Now we much prefer that as a really satisfying way to end the weekend.
If it's a healthy lamb curry, like one of the ones in the list below, it's often much less calorific and better for you than a Sunday roast too!
A traditional Sunday roast can be as much as 850 calories per serving.
The lamb rogan josh calories here are only 526 per serving.

Lamb Rogan Josh :-
- Spray the bottom of a heavy based saucepan/casserole dish 10 times with the cooking oil. Turn the heat on high and when the spray oil begins to bubble turn down the heat.

- When the onions have become soft, about 4 - 5 minutes, add the cubed lamb
- Brown the cubed lamb and once browned, about 6 - 8 minutes, cover with fresh boiling water.
- Put the lid on and allow to cook for 30 minutes, on a low heat, stirring every now and then.
- After 30 minutes add the salt, ginger and garlic paste, tomato puree, red chilli powder, turmeric and curry powder. Stir well together for a couple of minutes
- Add the tinned tomatoes and chopped tomatoes, cook for 15 minutes again stirring every now and then.
- Add the ground nuts then carefully stir in the 100ml no fat yogurt and add the 4 tbsp. grated coconut cream, Stir and cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Check to see if lamb is tender enough. If it is, turn off the heat and put the lid back on to keep it warm until serving. Now make the Naan breads.
Make the Naan Breads:-
- In a medium sized bowl combine the white bread flour and plain flour together.
- Add the salt, the dried yeast and then the no fat yogurt / water mixture.
- Combine in the bowl to a dough consistency.
- Then re-shape into a dough ball, coat in a light dusting of plain flour, place in a clean bowl and cover with clingfilm to rest for one hour.
- Flour a work surface. Roll the sticky dough out into a sausage shape and cut into 6 equal amounts. Roll these into balls.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan / Indian flat pan Tawa / Tava over a medium heat.
- Roll one ball out using a rolling pin into a naan shape. Shake the flour off and put it into the pan. Cook one side until brown blisters appear underside then turn and cook the other side. Lay aside and cover to keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the other 5 balls.
- Re-heat the rogan josh if required and serve with the coriander scattered over.

This looks like a fantastic healthier lamb rogan josh recipe. Just one question - is it OK to use fast yeast to make the naans?
Neil
Hi David, thanks so much for your question. Absolutey, it's fine to use fast action dried yeast. I've updated this blog post recipe with a link to my homemade naan bread recipe which shows you step-by-step how to make your own Naan breads. Let me know how you get on? 🙂
