Lamb Rogan Josh Curry

Lamb Rogan Josh is an Indian curry dish made with lamb, tomatoes and spices. It is a classic Kashmiri dish and is often served as part of a meal. The name Rogan Josh is derived from the Persian word “Rogan”, which means red, and “Josh”, which means passion or heat. The red color of the curry comes from the Kashmiri red chilli powder used in its preparation. The lamb is usually cooked in a tomato-based sauce and flavoured with ginger, garlic, cumin, and other spices. The dish is usually served with naan, chapatti, or steamed basmati rice.
