Mushroom ki Rogan josh

     CupoNation is an renowned website that offers wide range of discount coupons for leading online retailers in India like Flipkart, Snapdeal etc.  And yes, Snapdeal is one of my favourite website, back at home, we often visit them for discounted buffets ranging at Hyderabad, isn't it great?  :)  Coming back to our post,  Rogan josh (rogan meaning red/oil and josh meaning heat) is an aromatic lamb dish of Persian origin.  Slowly, they prevailed to Kashmir by Mughals.  This dish has  lamb chunks cooked on high heat with excess of oil.  The characteristic red colour of this dish comes from adding degi mirch powder or kashmiri chilly powder.  This powder added, gives the immense heat to dish, and hence the name

My all-time-twist was to add mushrooms here, and yes, they tasted very great with rogan josh spices.  The entire building (with almost six individual flat) was filled by this aromatic spice and overall it was an divine combination.  Apart from the heat driven by degi mirch here, I am also adding saffron threads to bring out the richness of this rogan josh...  You can also try  other mushroom recipes here like Mushroom stir-fry, Mushroom theeyal, Malvani khumb curry, Khuskhuswali khumb, Laal khumb, Mushroom dopyaza, Mushroom jalfrezi.
