The most traditional version of Rogan Josh is made with lamb or mutton. Follow the same recipe, but increase the simmering time to 45-60 minutes or until the meat is tender.
Replace chicken with 500g of paneer cubes, large-cut mushrooms, or boiled potatoes. Pan-fry them before adding to the gravy and reduce the final simmering time to 10-15 minutes.
Add 1-2 slit green chilies along with the whole spices, or add 1/2 teaspoon of regular red chili powder along with the Kashmiri variety for extra heat.
For a richer, less traditional version, you can stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh cream or cashew paste at the end of the cooking process.
Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.

Absolutely! Lamb or mutton is the traditional choice for Rogan Josh. Simply replace the chicken with bone-in lamb pieces and increase the final simmering time in Step 5 to about 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
Yogurt (curd) can curdle if it's added to a very hot pan or if it's not stirred continuously. To prevent this, always lower the heat to a minimum before adding the yogurt and whisk it vigorously and constantly until it's fully incorporated into the masala.
Yes, you can. Follow all steps up to adding the chicken and water. Then, close the pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally. This will significantly reduce the simmering time.
Store leftover Chicken Rogan Josh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
