replies: text: So something can't be an important ingredient in a particular dish... because it's seasonal? Eh? You know that basically applied to almost any fresh fruit or vegetable before the advent of vacuum packing and refrigeration, right? Especially in warmer regions? That would basically mean any dish which features a certain fruit or vegetable as a signature ingredient now needs to be redefined in terms of everything EXCEPT that, because there would have been some part of the year where they wouldn't have been available, same as tomatoes only appearing in summer... 80.189.14.215 (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to wikibooks cookbooks 

message: I second the fact that tomatoes aren't generally part of the recipe. I'll see if I can lay my hands on my fam's version later. I think that when we make lamb using tomatoes, it's usually called tomater meat. Also, I'm not sure what the wiki-policy is about including recipes with articles about dishes (and I'm not about to look it up right now), but I bet the suggestion about moving it to wikibooks is the right idea. Hopefully I'll find some time to put some work in on this soon. — gogobera (talk) 05:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well obviously in antiquity it didn't, as tomatoes are an American fruit, but Indian cuisine has widely adopted the tomato and potato. I just bought a jar of rogan josh sauce from the store and it had tomatoes. (very effing good by the way).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 00:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Why do a lot if Indians say that clarified butter means Gee not rogan josh? And why do they say that rogan josh means gravy juice?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MironGainz (talk • contribs) 11:24, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rogan Josh, gee, gravy juice 

message: It may be that the term comes from the verb jušidan (جوشيدن) meaning "to boil". It is not correct to say that "Rogan josh thus means cooked in oil at intense heat". "Boil" and "intense heat" are not the same.Royalcourtier (talk) 06:27, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition incorrect 

message: There are three or four competing etymologies for this dish. Clearly some of these must be folk etymology, but all of them are given in printed sources, so I have tried to reflect this in the article, including the sources. (Some books in the past few years seem to have simply copied their information from Wikipedia). 
A few texts also claim the name is just derived from "ratanjot" or "ratan jot", i.e. dried alkanet, the main colouring agent used in the past. Svejk74 (talk) 15:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Etymology

message: It just means oil/fat in farsi and urdu and can specifically refer to butter in Farsi  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HussaynKhariq (talk • contribs) 11:55, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Roghan, Roughan, روغن in Farsi and Urdu 

message: It may be tempting for users who are not fluent in Indo- Iranian languages to look for pronunciation similarities and assume that Rogan is similar to rouge in French meaning red and Josh is similar to juice, but anyone who is familiar with the geographical and historical origin of this Kashmiri dish would refer to the local language in which Rogan means oil or grease and josh means to boil. There are many other dishes with similar names such as Kalleh Joosh. Roghan Joosh is about braising meat in oil and then boiling it and the name literally outlines the cooking process.
