Finish and Serve
Replace eggs with large chunks of firm tofu or parboiled potatoes. Sauté them as you would the eggs. Use a plant-based yogurt, ensuring it's unsweetened and whisked well.
Substitute eggs with 250g of paneer, cut into large cubes. Shallow fry the paneer cubes until golden brown before adding them to the gravy.
For a richer, less traditional version, you can stir in 2 tablespoons of cashew paste along with the powdered spices in Step 3.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, immune function, and overall body maintenance.
The curry is rich in spices like turmeric (containing curcumin), ginger, and cloves, which are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Key ingredients like fennel powder (saunf) and dry ginger powder (saunth) are traditionally used in Kashmiri cuisine to aid digestion and soothe the stomach.
Beyond protein, eggs provide important nutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which supports brain health and development.
There are three key steps: 1) Use full-fat curd at room temperature. 2) Whisk it until it's completely smooth with no lumps. 3) Turn the stove heat to the absolute lowest setting before adding the curd, and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes after adding it.

You can, but be cautious. Kashmiri red chili powder is used for its vibrant red color and is very mild. Regular chili powder is much spicier. If substituting, use about 1/4 to 1/2 the amount and be prepared for a much hotter dish with a less brilliant red color.
It pairs beautifully with steamed basmati rice, which soaks up the delicious gravy. It also goes well with Indian breads like naan, roti, or laccha paratha.
Leftover Egg Rogan Josh can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
