CinnamonWhere it comes from
Rogan josh is a classic Kashmiri dish that showcases the region's rich culinary heritage, often enjoyed during special occasions and feasts. This aromatic lamb curry, with its deep red color and complex flavors, reflects the influence of Mughal cuisine on Indian gastronomy. A surprising fact is that the vibrant color comes from the use of Kashmiri red chili, which is more about color than heat, allowing the flavors of the meat to shine.
A fragrant celebration of slow-cooked lamb that captures the essence of Kashmiri spices. The vivid color is a feast for the eyes and the palate.
