Mutton Rogan Josh | Two ways to make Mutton Rogan josh

Mutton Rogan Josh is one of the signature recipes of Kashmiri cuisine. This is an aromatic curried dish, which is traditionally made with lamb or goat meat.

In this post, I am sharing two ways to make Mutton Rogan Josh Recipes, both Kashmiri Pandit and Muslim style. I will not call this recipe authentic because I have not used the same method and have skipped some ingredients, like Ratan jot, which gives this recipe nice red color. However, these recipes turned out so delicious. We tried to experiment with a vegetarian version of Rogan josh paneer, mushroom, cauliflowers, chickpeas, and lotus root with the same method.

Let’s talk about what Rogan Josh is: It is a deep red spicy lamb/goat curry dish of Persian origin. It was brought to Kashmir by the Mughals. This dish has a thin red-colored gravy and a thick layer of ghee on top. The main spices for the curry are hing, fennel seed powder, dry ginger powder, Kashmiri red chili, coriander powder, and garam masala.

Now, Let’s talk about what is different between Kashmiri Pandit and Muslim style recipe- The only difference between these two recipes is Kashmiri Pandit don’t use onion and garlic. However, Muslim style recipe does use those.

If you try this recipe, I would love to know how it turned out. Please tag your picture with #tangyhoney on my Instagram or connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. See you very soon in my next recipe. Stay healthy…

Mutton Rogan Josh recipe Without Onion And Ginger (Kashmiri Pandit Style)

Making Rogan josh at home is so easy, and the taste is delicious. I love making Rogan josh without onion and garlic because it doesn’t require any chopping and cutting. To make this recipe, I have used a pressure cooker. It took me only 40 minutes to make this.

I have divided this recipe into 2 steps. First, I cooked the meat in the pressure cooker. Meanwhile, I used a pan to sauteed the yogurt (Dahi) mixed spices and then added the cooked meat. Please, watch the video linked above for reference and find the written recipe below.

Note: You can also make this recipe in one pot; after cooking the meat in the pressure cooker, add the spice mix and water. And continuously stir it until the curry starts boiling. Once it starts boiling, then cover it and cook it on low flame.

Ghee- 3 tbsp
Black cardamom- 2
Cloves- 5 to 6
