CHICKEN ROGAN JOSH

   Chicken Rogan Josh is a staple of Kashmiri cuisine and is one of the main dishes of the Kashmiri multi- course meal. Chicken rogan josh is an aromatic chicken dish of Persian origin, which is one of the signature of Kashmiri cuisine. Chicken Rogan Josh means a deep red colored  and spicy chicken cooked in intense heat. Rogan josh was brought to Kashmir by the Mughals, whose cuisine was in turn influenced by Persian cuisine.

   Chicken Rogan Josh consists of pieces of chicken cooked with gravy based on browned onions, yogurts and aromatic spices. Its characteristic brilliant red color traditionally comes from liberal amounts of dried Kashmiri chillies that have been de-seeded to reduce their heat. The recipe,s spice is one of aroma rather than heat and the traditional dish is mild enough to be appreciated by Western palats that many not have been conditioned to tolerate the heat of chillies. It is really excellent and very delicious too.
