Rogan josh (or roghan josh) is an aromatic lamb dish of Persian origin, which is one of the signature recipes of Kashmiri cuisine.
Rogan josh (or roghan josh) was originally brought to Kashmir by the Mughals. It is one of the main dishes of of the Kashmiri multi-course meal the "Wazwan" along with "Tabak Maaz".
The authentic dish is a Spicy, thin mutton curry cooked with fennel and dry ginger and the main gravy or sauce comes from yoghurt.
However, there is a modified version of this dish served in many restaurants, which also contains tomatoes.
Cook this version of Rogan Josh at home, its very easy to make and goes well with both rice as well as breads or rotis.

"Tabak Maaz" - A Kashmiri Delicacy of Mutton Ribs/Chops

This recipe is from Kashmir, in India, and is a component of the formal grand feast called Wazwan. Wazwan is a 36-course rich and delicious meal, the trend of which started with the Wazas (the master chefs of Kashmir and the descendants of the cooks who migrated from Samarkand to Kashmir in the 15th century). Wazwan consists of mostly non-vegetarian dishes.

I first ate this dish in a house boat in Kashmir when I was about 12 years, and loved it. From then on, whenever we traveled or dined out, if this dish was on their menu I always ordered it.

But none was as delicious as the one I had tasted in Kashmir.

However recently there was a "Kashmiri Food Festival" in one of the restaurants in Bangalore and lo! this dish was part of the lovely spread.

With a little bit of research and trials, I was almost able to recreate this amazing dish.

And now its time to share this with you!
