💡 What's interesting

The signature deep red color of traditional Rogan Josh comes from Kashmiri chili powder, which is prized more for its vibrant hue than intense heat, making the dish flavorful but not overwhelmingly spicy. Nutritionally, pairing lamb with potatoes creates a balanced meal, as the vitamin C in potatoes can help enhance the absorption of iron from the meat.
