I’m so glad to finally post my first Curry; a Rogan Josh Kashmir. Rogan Josh Kashmir is a slow cooked curry from Kashmir. The addition of the Kashmiri red chili brings this beautiful, vibrant red color. The spices and the flavors are so intense and the lamb is extremely soft and moist.
This recipe is adapted from the famous Camellia Panjabi, from the book ’50 great curries of India’! A fantastic book filled with a lot of pieces of information and recipes!
Rogan means meat fat and Josh means heat.
Now, It’s time to join Fiesta Friday # 110 with Angie and also thanks to Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook and Apsara @ Eating Well Diary for co-hosting this week!

Mouthwatering! 🙂
Thanks a lot, Ronit! 🙂
Looks so good! And that’s a first try? Wow, you did great! 😀😀
Thank you very much Linda! 🙂 It was indeed 😀
Splendid! This looks as good as it does my mom’s kitchen in Kashmir. I have now stopped eating meat but I know how delicious this must taste…thanks for sharing a recipe that takes me back home to Kashmir 🙂
Thank you so much Zeba, it means a lot to me. I’m so glad you liked it. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 🙂
Woohoo Linda! Give yourself a pat on the back…you have done it perfectly well!! 😊😘😘❤️
Thanks a bunch Sonal ❤️ Seriously, It was so good! 😀
Beautiful! Looks like I can put away our take out menus and try this at home myself! 😋
Thanks a lot. Let me know how it turns out if you have time!😋 Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 🙂
This dish looks amazing! I just love all of those beautiful spices and can only imagine how warm and savory it tasted!
Thank you so much Julie. Have a nice weekend! 🙂
Great job for your first try Linda! Well done. My favorite is Rogan Josh too, just love how the lamb takes on all those spices. Also love, love your rice bowl, it looks so Indian 🙂
Thank you very much Loretta. Finally I make it 😉 The whole family loved it and you’re right the bowl is from India! Have a nice weekend! 🙂
Linda, your Rogan josh looks so delicious ! Love the fiery red color of the curry 🙂
Thank you so much Freda. It was indeed! 🙂
Oh Linda – rogan josh has always been my top Indian curry – just love how the lamb and spices melt in the mouth!
Thanks a lot Laura. I love cooking lamb and trust me this rogan josh was really nice (especially slow cooked). I will make it again! 🙂
I agree – and of course the slow cooking cuts are always the best too Linda…..
A lovely rendering of one of the beloved Northern Indian curries we all prepare time and again and again. And order regularly in restaurants unless more evocative recipes come to our attention. And love to bits! But having used Panjabi’s fantastic ’50 curries’ since 1996 I believe amongst others, may I suggest that your version has at least eleven differences I can see in a 10-second read’thru . . . . am certain yours tastes great but I would not call it a ‘Panjabi’ rogan josh 🙂 !
Thank’s Eha, yes definitely a favorite when eating out! 😀 For this recipe, I’ve used the book as more of an inspiration, and by no means re-created the original recipe (as you’ve noted, their are many differences). I felt it was necessary crediting the book as I think others might enjoy the reference, as I find it such a great book! Have a nice weekend 🙂
I already told you… sooner or later because of recipes I will start eating lamp! Amazing as usual!
Tu es trop gentille Margherita. Have a nice week! 🙂
That is a truly rich dish with vibrant color and flavors. I can so easily envision a vegetarian version being equally delicious. Thank you for bringing these to the fiesta!
Oh thanks a lot Apsara. I really enjoyed cooking this curry. Thank you for co-hosting this week FF and have a great week! 🙂
Omg!! This looks amazing. I love the color on that curry ☺
Thank you so much, I really appreciate! 🙂
Brilliant colour and this Rogan Josh looks fantastic!!! I love Cooking curries from Camilia Punjabi’s cookbook as well…Im sure the family relished this curry:))
Thanks a bunch Shy, coming from you it’s a compliment. The book is amazing, (a good friend of mine gave me this book). Are you planing to come to Dubai! 🙂

LOVE lamb and it sounds fabulous in this curry, Linda. Delicious spices and I imagine the aroma is appetite inducing!
The lamb was so soft and tasty, Nancy. I definitely do it again, this is delicious! 😉 Have a nice week!
I love you more for this post ❤
Anything Indian, makes me sentimental.
The Rogan Josh looks perfect 🙂

Linda, delicious curry. Kudos to you!
Thank you very much, Gloria! 🙂
Beautiful recipe. And you have answered a question I have often asked: can I use Spanish paprika in a curry recipe? I am so happy to see I can.
Thanks a lot Hilda. In the original recipe, she doesn’t specify what kind of paprika, I used the Spanish one and the taste was really nice. She also used 1 blade of mace, I used a pinch of nutmeg. Have a nice week! 🙂
Looks heavenly! Just like lovely Kashmir!
Thank you so much, Indu! 🙂
Love all the flavours using in there …looks flavorsome. …
Thank you so much Chitra. It was yummy! 🙂

Absolute perfection! Great recipe and great execution. I have to check out the cookbook, ’50 great curries of India’. I love lamb and this is very satisfying decadence for me.
Thanks a lot Fae. The lamb texture was delicious. For me is the best meat to make curry. The book is full of interesting info, a little treasure! 🙂
I love the lamb dishes you post Linda. I too have only made one curry – need to try more. The book you suggested sounds like a good start 🙂
Thank you so much, Judi. Truly the lamb was really nice and so tender. The book is extremely interesting with amazing recipes. Have a nice weekend! 🙂
I ordered the book you suggested and one other book by the same author “Great Curries of India”. I can never have too many cookbooks 🙂
Wow, I’m sure you will love this book Judi. Enjoy! 🙂
That lamb curry looks so mouthwatering, Linda! and I love lamb curry even more than chicken curry! With all those amazing spices it can’t be not good 🙂
Thank you so much Mila. It was indeed! 🙂
