Rogan Josh – A signature Kashmiri Lamb Curry

Among the various staples across Indian restaurants is Roghan Josh. Versions vary from the good, bad, and ugly. Here I have even given you a version that I created a while ago. My prior version includes a small faux pas, the use of tomatoes. Indeed, good Roghan Josh, has a signature bright red gravy. It is however developed with a variety traditional finds such as Ratan Jot, a bright hued flower.
