Rogan josh

Lamb, usually, braised slowly in a gravy flavored with garlic, ginger and aromatic spices. It is a signature of Kashmiri cooking with Persian roots. Where the name comes from is debated: one common reading links rogan to the Persian word for oil or clarified butter, another to a Kashmiri word for red. That deep red color looks like a warning, but rogan josh is richly flavored and generally not too hot. It is the classic next step for someone ready to move on from korma without reaching for the water jug.
