Notes
- Unlike many chicken curries that are very saucy, rogan josh doesn't have as much sauce, this only coats the chicken when it's cooked, but there isn't much around.
- The sauce is traditionally spicy, but you can dial down on the heat if you'd rather go for a more mild version, especially if you cook for children too.
- The sauce cooks very quickly, so keep an eye on it, as it can easily burnt. There is no need to add any other liquid to the sauce, or it won't be rogan josh anymore.
