Soup Dumplings In Rogan Josh Sauce

Hey everyone! If you’ve ever had the pleasure of eating soup dumplings, you know how amazing they are. But imagine taking those juicy, flavorful dumplings and combining them with a rich, spicy sauce like Gymkhana’s Rogan Josh. Sounds exciting, right? Well, I couldn’t resist trying this fusion dish, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. The sauce adds a burst of flavor, while the dumplings stay warm and steamy an absolute treat!

Method

Cook the Lamb 

Start by heating a pan or claypot over medium heat and adding 1 teaspoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the 90g of lamb mince. Use a spoon or spatula to break up the lamb as it cooks. Fry the meat until it begins to brown, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Stir it occasionally to ensure it browns evenly and doesn’t stick to the pan. The lamb should be cooked through but not dry.

Mix in the Sauce 

Once the lamb is browned and cooked, pour in half of the jar of Gymkhana Rogan Josh sauce. Stir the sauce into the lamb mixture to coat it evenly. Let the mixture cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse its rich, spiced flavor into the lamb. Make sure the sauce doesn’t burn, so keep stirring and watch the heat.

Add the Broth 

At this point, transfer the lamb and sauce mixture into a separate claypot or cooking pot if you’re using one. Then, add 0.5 to 1 cup of chicken broth (or water) to the pot. Stir to mix everything together. Increase the heat and bring the broth to a boil, which should take about 3-5 minutes. The broth helps to create the base for the soup dumplings to cook in and enhances the overall flavor.

Simmer with Dumplings 

Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the 10 frozen soup dumplings into the pot. Be gentle so they don’t break apart. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of your soup dumplings, so make sure to check them periodically. The dumplings should be fully cooked through, and the broth will have absorbed the flavors from the lamb and Rogan Josh sauce.

Garnish and Serve 

After the dumplings have cooked, remove the pot from heat and uncover it. The soup dumplings should be steaming and tender, sitting in a rich, flavorful broth. To serve, garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander, sliced red chillies, and minced red onion. These toppings will add a burst of freshness and heat to the dish, making it even more flavorful. Serve immediately while it’s still hot and enjoy the fusion of flavors!
