Kashmiri Rogan Josh

SpiceBreeze
Rogan Josh is a celebrated dish from the scenic mountains of Kashmir. This aromatic stew is surprisingly simple to prepare, yet its intricate spice blend delivers a depth of flavor and a vibrant red hue. For the best results, we recommend a generous amount of chili—Kashmiri chilies are ideal. They impart a milder heat compared to cayenne pepper and naturally enhance the dish's rich color.
