Notes

  • Note 1 – Traditionally, a rogan josh tends to be spicy. However, in my recipe, I have not made it as spicy. If you want to have it spicy, I suggest adding a few green chillies.
  • Note 2 – Adding water at this point will release all the colours from the spices.
  • Note 3 – Ensure that you stir every few minutes so that nothing sticks to the pan.
  • Note 4 – You can either use unsalted butter or ghee, which is unclarified butter.
