Mutton Rogan Josh is scrumptious delicacy from the Kashmiri cuisine distinguished by its thick, aromatic, flavourful red sauce and tender meat. Most people attribute this dish to the Kashmiri region but few say that it was actually introduced to the Kashmiri people by the Moghuls.
Rogan name translates to clarified butter or oil in Persian, referring to the way the meat and spices are cooked while Josh means fiery or hot referring the dish’s deep red color. This is a wonderful type of lamb curry which is slowly cooked with a selection of fragrant spices, the most important being the ‘Kashmiri peppers’ as it gives a distinct red color to the dish while keeping it milder compared to other Indian curries.

Due to the popularity of this dish and rarity of Kashmiri chilies, there are many versions where saffron, tomatoes and other types of chilies or paprika is used to achieve the RoganJosh red color.In spite of including a lot of spices, the dish is not really hot compared to others.

Yogurt, the base for the sauce, gives a lovely tang together with the tomato while almonds add texture, flavor and also thickens the sauce. The mild heat from the chilies and pepper to compliments the dish.
All in all, this dish has reminiscent flavors that we are to die for.For this glorious stupendous delicacy, guilty pleasure, serve rogan josh with any flat Indian bread like chappati, paratha, naan—the perfect choices for mopping up the rich gravy.

Kashmiri cuisine History states that the modern Kashmiri cuisine was traced back to the 15th-century invasion of India by Timur, and the migration of 1700 skilled woodcarvers, weavers, architects, calligraphers and cooks from Samarkand to the valley of Kashmir.
The descendants of these cooks, the Wazas, are the master chefs of Kashmir. Wazwan is considered to be the ultimate formal banquet in Kashmiri comprising of a thirty-six-course meal, out of which between fifteen to thirty are meat preparations cooked overnight by the master chefs and his assistance.
Traditionally the guest coming to the banquets are seated in groups of four sharing a large metal plated called the Trami. The trami is filled with heaps of rice, quartered with four seekh kebabs and contains pieces of methi korma, tabak maaz, safed murg and zafrani murg and first few courses.

The other seven important dishes which are a must for these occasions are Rista, Rogan Josh, Tabak Maaz, Daniwal Korma, Aab Gosht, Marchwangan Korma, and Gushtaba. The meal ends with theGushtaba.
