Chef Tips: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mustard oil is heated in the pan with no other ingredients until it reaches a temperature where the first wisps of smoke appear. It is then taken off the flame and allowed to cool a little before adding ingredients to be cooked. This procedure removes the acrid taste of the raw oil and renders it quite pleasant.<\/li>\n
  2. Traditional Kashmiri Rogan Josh has thin red-coloured curry and a thick layer of oil on top.<\/li>\n
  3. The oil should rise to the top of the saucepan, which means the curry is ready.<\/li>\n
  4. The red colour comes from the Kashmiri red chillies and roots of the plant called Ratan Jot.<\/li>\n
  5. Choose mutton with high fat content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
