ROGAN JOSH CURRY

Origin & Special Features

Rogan Josh is a classic Indian dish originating from the Kashmir region. The name "Rogan Josh" means "red meat" (rogan) and "food" or "dish" (josh). It is an aromatically spiced curry traditionally prepared with lamb, but can also be combined with other meats, fish, or vegetables. This spice blend is a specially balanced combination of spices that creates the characteristic flavor of Rogan Josh.

Taste & Aroma

The Rogan Josh Curry Mix is mild and aromatic, with a rich blend of earthy and spicy flavors. The combination of cumin, coriander, and fenugreek seeds gives the curry a subtle depth, while cloves, Ceylon cinnamon, and turmeric add a pleasant warmth and complexity. Paprika provides a slightly sweet note and a beautiful color. Overall, the mix is perfectly balanced, offering a mild heat that isn't overpowering.

Application

To prepare classic Rogan Josh, use 1 teaspoon of the spice mix per person, mix it with crushed garlic, ginger, and onions, along with meat (traditionally lamb, but also chicken or fish). Let the meat marinate for 4 hours. Sauté 4 sliced onions in oil until almost browned, add the meat and continue to sauté. Then add stock and let it simmer for 1 to 2 hours. Just before serving, add a cup of natural yogurt and 1 teaspoon of garam masala to round out the flavor. Rogan Josh is excellent with meat, fish, or even vegetables. This mix is also particularly delicious in stir-fries or with currywurst.
