Authentic Kashmiri Mutton Rogan Josh Recipe

Authentic Kashmiri Mutton Rogan Josh recipe has to be one of my favorites. This recipe is as traditional as it gets.

Rogan Josh is an aromatic curry from the land of Kashmir in India. But originally the recipe came from persia. And was brought to India by the Mughals. Its quite popular dish for it’s distinct taste from the spices and for its deep red color from a special herb Ratanjot and chillis that are native to Kashmir.

Rogan josh is usually made using mutton or even lamb. But any red meat works for this recipe. Include the shanks and bones and your recipe will have a flavor thats unmatchable.
