Rogan Josh is an aromatic lamb dish of Persian Origin and is a staple food in Kashmiri Cuisine. This dish is robust with use of different spices. I am sharing the vegetarian version with some changes to suit the palate of my family. I love the colour of this curry which comes from the use of Kashmiri Chilli powder. The fresh home made masala enhances the dish.”ROGAN ” means “fat /oil” and “JOSH” means “Intense heat”.
As a part of our 89th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme #Rawbananas my contribution is this yummy Kachhe Kele Ka Rogan Josh.
