About the recipe

It is a mutton gravy recipe infused with aromatic flavours such as whole spices and also spices that are warm to our body such as cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf and mainly we add warm spices such as dry ginger powder, fennel seeds powder which is commonly called as saunf as those regions need to make curries that give warmth.

The word 'Rogan' means the oil that separates the curry in slow cooking method. Here, I have made using pressure cooking technique for quick process but it can be made by slow cooking which infuses all flavors perfectly.

Mutton Rogan is the oil that leaves while cooking the mutton.

Mutton or meat can be made in several ways such as frying the mutton, making curries, making korma recipes, or making rice recipes mixed with mutton.

Meat is often said to affect our body in a negative manner but including it in our daily diet occasionally can help in bodybuilding and makes us strong and healthy.

Mutton curries can be made in several varieties and every region makes use of meat in a different way.  Northern Indian style of mutton curries use certain different flavours and southern Indian style of mutton curries normally use different flavours.

Every region in India makes plenty of varieties of mutton curries or gravy recipes that are suitable to be eaten with pulao recipes, rice recipes or roti recipes.

How to buy meat?

• It is very essential that we buy good quality meat for better taste and better health. If meat is bought from supermarkets it is always necessary to check the date of packaging and date of expiry as a safety precaution before consuming it.
• Meat should appear fresh and the appearance should be red and not blackish. If the meat is of lamb then it tastes much more better and can be tenderized very quickly.

Benefits of eating meat

• Meat of goat or lamb gives us fresh red meat and along with it comes many health benefits such as it has the ability to cure protein deficiency, it has vitamins and mainly it has vitamin B12 and some other minerals which work wonders for our health.

Points to remember

• Firstly, this recipe definitely takes in spices such as saunf powder and dry ginger powder if one lives in cold places.
• If one is making this recipe in normal conditions then one can skip these spices as these are not required if the regions are not cold.
• To make this curry perfectly with delicious flavors then one needs to slow cook this curry rather than pressure cooking.
• In this recipe to bring mouth watering gravy I have made use of brown onions and beaten yogurt and these ingredients are totally optional, however, adding them gives a different flavor of the rogan josh.

Not only meat is used to make this recipe but also chicken can be used to make it and serve with roti, chapati or rice.

Below are the recipe details to make this simple and delicious mutton gravy straight from the region of Kashmir.
