I did not post throughout 2014 because effectively, I did not cook anything :-)
But I have eaten some very nice dishes indeed
Special mention to this Rogan Josh I had at Kashmir For You in Aroma Hotel, Sector 22 Chandigarh.
This is a little kiosk in a food court. They have the standard Kashmiri fare- Goshtaba, Rishta, Yakhni, Rogan Josh. They also had two things I have not seen on a menu before. Aab Gosht and Dhaniya meat (both in chicken and mutton). I had the Rogan Josh as part of a Thali, but I regret not asking for the Aab Gosht. Would have liked to see what it was about.
The thali included a bowl of rice, some onion with masala, a mutton curry of your choice, a roomali roti and a small bottle of Coke. While that sounds rather little for a thaali, however, the mutton is extremely filling and the pieces were excellent, with good tender chunks of meat (not just bone and fat as is often the case). The gravy was rich, red and extremely tasty, spicy and tangy. I lapped it up, literally.
Rogan Josh, at least the authentic version is made without onion, tomato, garlic, ie the traditional ingredients of Indian mutton curries. The gravy is mainly garam masala, chillies, possibly ginger, with the Rattan jot giving it the wonderful colour. This was indeed very good. The roti was nice and soft and enhanced the taste of the gravy. Unfortunately they don't have a picture
There is a stall next to this one selling Lucknow Biriani - Rs 450 upwards- but humongous servings. Wish I could take Umang here
