Venison Rogan Josh
This Venison Rogan josh recipe is packed with fragrant spices and was a head-on success with the whole family. Rogan josh is said to have been originated in Persia and to have been adapted and perfected in the north Indian state of Kashmir.
Translated into English Rogan Josh means "cooked in oil at extreme heat". It is one of the signatures dishes of the Kashmiri cuisine today and is usually prepared with goat or lamb meat. However we do have a special liking for venison and prepared our recipe with some fresh venison pieces that where cooked on the bone.
