Mutton Rogan Josh is a signature dish of Kashmiri Cuisine. Here meat is cooked with spices and yogurt. The use of Kashmiri red chillies gives a nice red colour to the curry. It derived the name from Persian words, Rogan means “oil”and Josh means “intense heat”, so Mutton Rogan Josh means mutton cooked in oil at intense heat.

Rogan Josh goes well with Sheermal, Naan, Chapati, Rice, Biryani and Raita. It came to this country from Persia with the Mughals. Then gradually became a popular Indian cuisine. Rogan Josh is rich with clarified butter, aromatic with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, deep red in color because of Kashmiri local spice ‘Ratonjoat. It is the original natural food colouring that gives the famous Kashmiri dish Rogan Josh its signature red colour.

It is one of the main dishes of the Kashmiri multicourse meal (the wazwan). Kashmiri Muslims prepare it with onion and garlic while the Kashmiri Pandits use only dry ginger, fennel powder and yogurt to make it. I have made the Kashmiri Pandit’s version of the same without onion and garlic and it turned out delicious. Some authors believe that tomatoes are not part of the traditional Rogan Josh recipe and should not be included. However, other authors have specifically referred to rogan josh as a dish based around meat and tomatoes. Here I have not used tomato, preferred to go with traditional version with curd. Though to save time, did not apply slow cooking method to make this dish. I cooked in pressure cooker, but if you can, make this dish through slow cooking method. The aroma and taste, both of this dish will be good.
