==Etymology==

A number of origins of the name have been suggested. ''Rawghan'' means "[[ghee|clarified butter]]" or "oil" in [[Persian language|Persian]], while ''jōš'' means to "stew" or "braise" and ultimately derives from the verb ''jōšīdan'' meaning "to boil". Rogan josh, by this definition, may mean "stewed in ghee".~~<ref name=od297/>~~ An alternative etymology is that the name derives from the [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] word ''roghan'', "red", along with the word either for "meat", (''gošt'') often romanized as "rogan ghosht" or "gosht", or a word meaning "juice", giving possible meanings of "red meat" or "red juice". The exact etymology remains uncertain as both "rogan josh" and "rogan ghosht" are used to refer to the dish and it is unclear which of the names is the original.
