Mutton Rogan josh Recipe, How to make rogan josh

Mutton Rogan josh recipe is an aromatic lamb dish from the Persian cuisine, and as well as the Kashmiri cuisine.

History has it that the mutton rogan josh recipe was brought to India by the Mughals who would frequent Kashmir for it’s beauty.

Rogan means the oil or the ghee with which it is made. Typically lot of ghee is used for making this mutton rogan josh recipe but I have however used a little less. You can even use oil in place of ghee or butter.

The mutton rogan josh recipe is made very differently from other mutton recipes. I first learned this on a cookery show when I first came to Dubai.

The onion is fried lightly and then the mutton is fried till brown. The onion just dissolves in the juices from the mutton.

Be sure to get good quality and tender mutton while making this mutton rogan josh recipe, otherwise it won’t work as well. If the mutton pieces are too tough, they won’t cook as well.

If you try to cook it in a pressure cooker, the taste is just not there. Ask me, I have tried it a couple of times and have absolutely been disappointed for taking the short cut.

So for making the perfect mutton rogan josh recipe, you will need the perfectly tender meat and cook it slowly. And rest will be just all delicious.
