Mutton Rogan Josh Recipe
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.
