Rogan Josh is the most famous of the Kashimiri cuisine. Kashmir is the northern most part of India and it is supposed to be the most beautiful place on earth. This dish has a very nice aroma which invokes feeling of hunger inside you and dish is equally very tasty. Main ingredient of this dish is lamb. Care has to be taken to choose the lamb so that it is very succulent and tasty.
