How to make Rogan Josh
My love for mutton is quite known. I keep looking for new things to try with mutton. I had made this list of mutton dishes on my To-Do, but ultimately I cooked up this classic Kashmiri Rogan Josh.
Rogan Josh is traditionally cooked in yogurt and other spices but what I have tried here is Rogan Josh without yogurt. The typical color of Kashmiri Red chilli powder or Degi Mirch gives it a lovely intense red color from which it gets the name Rogan and Josh is the passion that red color derives, that is Rogan Josh in true sense.

If you look at the this amazing dish, you will see red color oozing out. The typical spices used in Kashmiri cuisine like Ginger powder and fennel powder really give that different taste to otherwise North Indian taste buds.
It is also a thin gravy though you can have the gravy as you like it, thin gravy just makes it easier to have with rice.
Let me just take you through the recipe before you start slurrping if you are already not.
