Rogan josh is a signature dish of Kashmiri cuisine, known for its deep red colour and layered warmth from Kashmiri chili, cardamom, cinnamon and fennel. At Green Chili Crowfoot our Roganjosh is slow-cooked so the lamb becomes fork-tender and the gravy thickens into something you will want to mop up with naan. Reviewers consistently name it their lamb favourite, and you can order the same curry with beef or goat. It is a popular pick for a cozy dinner in NW Calgary, whether you dine in at Crowfoot Crossing or order delivery to Arbour Lake, Ranchlands or Tuscany.
The name rogan josh is often translated as "red heat" or "stewed in oil", and the dish is a staple of the Kashmiri wazwan feast. At Green Chili – Cuisine of India we prepare it the North Indian way: browned onions, ginger and garlic form the base, tomato and yogurt add body, and Kashmiri chili gives colour and gentle heat rather than a burn.
Our lamb, beef and goat are all halal. Goat roganjosh is the choice for guests who grew up with bone-in curries and want the fullest flavour; lamb is the crowd favourite; beef is a hearty option that is just as satisfying.
Slow cooking is what makes this curry. We give the meat time to soften and release its flavour into the gravy instead of rushing it, so the sauce tastes of the lamb and not just the spices. The heat sits at a comfortable medium by default, and we are happy to adjust it up or down. It is one of the dishes that shows why guests call Green Chili a reliable spot for Indian food in NW Calgary.
