Chicken Rogan Josh
Description
This Chicken Rogan Josh starts with frying whole spices—cardamom, cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, and Kashmiri chilies—to release their fragrance. Onions are softened before adding diced tomatoes and bell pepper, which contribute sweetness and body. Ground spices like turmeric, cumin, garam masala, paprika, and chili powders are cooked with the vegetables to develop depth and color. The partially cooked mix is deglazed with water to extract spice compounds, and then diced chicken is added, simmering until tender. The final addition of unsalted butter enriches and smooths the sauce. Garnished with fresh coriander, this curry offers a balanced flavor profile—mildly spiced but richly aromatic. Serving it with fresh rice or naan bread complements the dish and helps soak up the sauce.
