Notes
Expert Tips:
- If you're serving this curry to kids or people that don't like a lot of spice, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt at the end of cooking and place more on the table for people to dollop on top!
- Make sure the pan you use has a lid. Simmering the chicken rogan josh on a low heat with a lid on the pan ensures the chicken doesn't dry out.
- Make a chicken and vegetable rogan josh and add sliced red peppers and sliced mushrooms at the same time as the onion.
- Make a chicken and potato rogan josh! Add cooked boiled potatoes or even leftover roast potatoes!
- Make spicy chicken rogan josh and add 1 red chopped chili at the same time as the onion.
- Try making slow cooker chicken rogan josh. Place all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Use thickening granules or a cornflour slurry to thicken the curry sauce at the end of cooking
- To Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To Reheat: Place leftovers in a microwaveable bowl and cook on full power until piping hot. Curries always taste better the next day!
- To Freeze: Allow the curry to cool, place in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
