rogan josh

Red lamb stew

Rogan josh is a richly spiced lamb curry from Kashmir, distinguished by its deep red color—traditionally from dried Kashmiri chilies or sometimes from tomatoes and paprika.

The dish features aromatic spices like cardamom, cloves, and fennel in a thick, fragrant sauce: We ordered rogan josh and naan.
