We all love a Rogan Josh and the Spyced Rogan Josh curry kit delivers on both flavour and authenticity. It is said the Rogan Josh can be traced back to the Moghul conqueror Tamerlane; he invaded Kashmir in the 15th Century bringing with him a team of architects, painters, calligraphers and cooks. He encouraged his cooks to work together with local Kashmiri chefs to learn from and adapt their recipes. It was Tamerlane’s chefs who adopted the Kashmiri flavours, cooking styles and techniques involved in producing the original Rogan Josh, and who went on to make the dish famous, taking it with them on their onward travels across the globe, eventually winding up in the Spyced development kitchen for your delectation!
