Kashmiri Rogan Josh
Rogan Josh is a signature dish from the mountain region of Kashmir. The preparation of this stew is as easy as it can get. The complex spice blend creates a rich flavor and intense color. We recommend using a good amount of chili; Kashmiri chilies are the best choice. They are less hot than cayenne pepper and color the dish pleasantly red

My daughter gave me a subscription as a Christmas present while our families were quarantining together. It was so much fun! It introduced us to several cuisines that were totally new to us. The recipes were easy to follow and the spices were transformative - fresh and pungent and delicious.
