Mutton Rogan Josh/ How To Make Mutton Rogan Josh
Mutton Rogan josh is a signature dish of kashmiri cuisine. Rogan means – red and Josh means – heat / passion. It’s a red coloured dish cooked in intense heat.
It’s a curried lamb/ mutton dish. And can be enjoyed in many parts of the world. Served with steamed basmati rice or chapatis , it tastes amazing and is loved by one and all. To make this tender, secret is to cook on slow flame so that the meat does not loose any of its juices and flavour.
It’s savoured in my family by everyone. Whenever we are craving for something new, we go for this Recipe. Traditionally it’s prepared with goat mutton, but you can make different versions of it with lamb or chicken.
We have not used any onion, garlic, or tomato in this dish. This makes the dish quiet easy on your stomach and you don’t have that feeling of guilty or fullness after having it.
