Rogan Josh Recipe: Kashmir's Aromatic Lamb Curry Masterpiece

Rogan Josh is Kashmir's crown jewel - a fragrant lamb curry with Persian roots that has become synonymous with Kashmiri cuisine. This royal dish features tender meat in aromatic red gravy. Create this restaurant favorite at home with Phoran's premium spices.

From Persian Courts to Kashmiri Tables

Brought to Kashmir by Persian chefs, Rogan Josh represents the pinnacle of Kashmiri Wazwan cuisine. The name means 'red oil' in Persian, referring to the vibrant color from Kashmiri chillies and the aromatic oil that coats each piece of tender lamb.

The Kashmiri Chilli Secret

Authentic Rogan Josh gets its signature color from Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder. Unlike regular chilli, it provides stunning red color without overwhelming heat, allowing the complex spice flavors to shine through.

Aromatic Spice Blend

Rogan Josh needs warming spices. Our Masala Combo Pack includes Garam Masala with cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves that create the aromatic depth this royal curry demands.

Cardamom: The Kashmiri Touch

Premium Green Cardamom is essential for authentic Rogan Josh. Its floral, aromatic notes define Kashmiri cuisine and elevate this curry to restaurant quality.

Marination for Tender Meat
