Rogan Josh

Rogan josh is an aromatic curry dish from Kashmir and is quite popular in Punjab as well as in other countries such as Pakistan, Singapore and the UK. Rogan means oil in Persian, while josh means heat, hot or passionate. Thus rogan josh means oil cooked over intense fire.

This was brought to India by the Mughals. The relentless heat that there was in the plains of India made the Mughals move frequently to Kashmir, where the indians first adopted this dish.

It is one of the introductory indian dishes, the flavor is not so exotic, which doesn't meant that the taste is not good.

It is an aromatic stew meat (usually lamb) in a sauce of yogurt, tomato and spices. It is little (or no) spicy, depending on psychopathy cook or masochism of diners, of course.
