Rogan Josh

Rogan josh (pronounced: /ˈroʊɡən ˈdʒoʊʃ/) is a dish of Kashmiri cuisine that is of Persian origin. The name "rogan josh" comes from two Persian words: "rogan" meaning oil and "josh" meaning heat or boiling.

Etymology

The term "rogan josh" is derived from the Persian language. "Rogan" means "oil" in Persian, while "josh" means "heat" or "boiling". The dish is thus named for its cooking process, where meat is cooked in a mixture of oil and spices at high heat.

Ingredients

Rogan josh traditionally consists of braised lamb chunks cooked with a gravy based on brown onions, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices. The characteristic red color traditionally comes from ratan jot, a dried wild flower that gives the dish its red hue, and Kashmiri chillies, which are also red.

Variations

There are many variations of rogan josh due to regional differences, personal preferences, and adaptations for dietary restrictions. For example, some versions use beef or chicken instead of lamb. Others may use tomato for the red color instead of ratan jot and Kashmiri chillies.
