I have never been able to tell "Rogan Josh" from "Kadai Lamb" or "Kadai
Chicken" from "Chicken Masala" or "Chicken Curry". There are literally

garnished with tomatoes, while others with coriander leaves. They
pretty much start out with a vegetable curry base, add some cauliflower
and potatoes to it and call is "Aloo Gobi". Pretty exotic eh? and then
