Rogan Josh
If you are in Kashmir, you cannot miss this dish.
It is the signature dish and the best one in the
whole country. For all the meat lovers, it is a
must-try. As the Mughals entered the country,
they brought some rich food culture along with
them and it has stayed in the country or good.
Try it with naan or rice and you will end up
wanting more with each bite. The goodness of
grounded spices makes it irresistible.
