🍖 Rogan Josh

🔥 Description: A slow-cooked lamb curry from the Kashmir region, Rogan Josh is known for its deep red colour, delicate spice, and melt-in-the-mouth texture. It gets its name from “rogan” (oil) and “josh” (intensity).

Cooked with yoghurt, Kashmiri chillies, cinnamon, cardamom, and fennel, this dish is aromatic rather than fiery, and the meat is tender from hours of braising.

📍 Origin: Kashmir (adapted from Persian cuisine)

🍽️ Served With: Steamed basmati rice, naan, or Kashmiri bread (lavasa)

📌 Note: A traditional part of Kashmiri Wazwan (royal feast), Rogan Josh is a must-try for meat lovers.

Cypriot Parallel: Similar to kleftiko (slow-baked lamb) in tenderness and festive significance, though Rogan Josh has complex spice depth and a richer gravy.

👉 Immerse yourself in the regal warmth of Kashmiri spice!
