Recipe by JR Hartman

Rogan josh is an Indian lamb stew or curry from northern India. I love it's rich flavors, deep color and intense aroma. I also have two young children who I am proud to say willingly try new foods. As long as it's not too spicy! For that reason the heat level is toned down in this recipe. If you like your food spicy, double, (or more) the red pepper flakes and cayenne, a couple of chopped chilies would be great too.
