Robust flavours and intensely rich gravies – this aptly describes the Kashmiri cuisine. Kashmiri chillies, Kashmiri pulao, Kashmiri dum aloo, and more such dishes have been welcomed in households across the country. Rogan josh is another very-popular non-vegetarian delight from the belt of Kashmir that has won over our hearts. Rogan josh (or roghan ghosht) is a meat dish with a dense, aromatic curry, made with red meat. Rogan josh is mostly made with lamb but some people also like to make it with other meats like mutton.

This signature dish from Kashmir is one of the most ordered dishes in restaurants, but you can also make it at your home during lockdown when going to restaurants to enjoy this delicious dish is not possible. Don’t get bogged down by the long list of ingredients; you’ll find most of them already present in your kitchen.

Mutton pieces are fried well in oil and then doused in a flavourful gravy made with a range of traditional Indian spices like red chilli powder, fennel powder, ginger powder, cumin powder, dried fengureek leaves, brown cardamom powder, cardamom, cinnamon sticks,  bay leaves and cloves. Mutton is slow-cooked till the gravy thickens.

Serve rogan josh with roti, naan or paratha. This mutton dish will also go well with plain rice or other rice preparations like biryani, jeera rice or pulao.
