Coming at you with another plant-based version of a classic Indian dish – Kashmiri Rogan Josh. This dish is a popular dish from the state of Kashmir, usually made with some kind of meat. It is often served as a part of wazwan(multi course meal). Rogan josh roughly translates to a fiery hot or fiery looking dish cooked in oil. The color of the dish comes from Kashmiri chilies and ratanjot(alkanet flowers). We use Kashmiri chilies or paprika and some red bell pepper instead.
Depending on the region, Rogan josh can have added onion garlic. The region being in the Himalayan mountain range, means cold winters and limited availability of fresh vegetables. So, many Kashmiri dishes rely on spices for flavor. This recipe just happens to be onion garlic and tomato free. You can add some onion and garlic if you like.
This vegan tofu rogan josh is easy to make and spice level can be adapted to make it suitable for the whole family. Kashmiri chilies are mild but can sometimes be moderately hot.
All those warming Indian spices make this plant-based curry so flavourful and rich! You may have some of these in your cupboard already but don’t worry if you don’t! You can find all of these spices at your local supermarket without any difficulties and it’s also no problem to skip one or two. Definitely try it with some Kashmiri chili powder.
Plant-based yogurt makes this curry creamy without the need to add any actual cream. I also like the tanginess the yogurt adds! Trojan josh isn’t usually creamy, but the thicker sauce here works well with the tofu and to tame the overall heat.
I like serving this with rice but any flatbread or rotis will make for a great accompaniment too.
