Rogan Josh with Pilau Rice ~ Mexican Mole Rosa
Rogan Josh with Pilau Rice:
Rogan josh is one of the national dishes of the Kashmir region of India, though it was introduced by the Moghuls - who were in turn strongly influenced by Persian traditions and culture. The deep red colour of the dish comes from the use of lots of Kashmiri chilli, which make it rich and flavoursome - with not too much heat - and add a fantastic depth of flavour. It’s served here with some side dishes typical of the region - a simple saag bhaji, pilau rice and plain yogurt.
Mexican Mole Rosa:
In Mexico ‘mole’ (pronounced mo-lay) is the name for a sauce made predominantly of nuts, spices and chillies and a range of other complex and delicious ingredients from fruit and vegetables, to seeds and even chocolate! This version is known as mole rosa and comes from a town called Taxco in the state of Guerrero, south-central Mexico. The mole is traditionally cooked with pink coloured pine nuts which give the sauce its rose coloured hue, sometimes with beetroot added to accentuate the colour further.
