Finish and Serve
Traditionally, Rogan Josh is made with lamb or goat meat. Replace chicken with 750g of bone-in lamb and increase the simmering time to 60-90 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
For more heat, add 2-3 slit green chilies along with the onions or add 1/2 teaspoon of regular red chili powder along with the Kashmiri chili powder.
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 high-quality lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The recipe is rich in spices like turmeric (containing curcumin), ginger, and garlic, which are known for their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helping to combat oxidative stress in the body.
Spices such as fennel powder (saunf) and dry ginger powder (sonth) are traditionally used in Indian cuisine to aid digestion, reduce bloating, and improve gut health.

A typical serving of approximately 375g contains around 450-550 calories. This can vary based on the amount of oil used and the cut of chicken (bone-in vs. boneless, skin-on vs. skinless).
Yes, you can use boneless chicken breast or thigh pieces. Reduce the simmering time by 10-15 minutes as boneless chicken cooks faster. However, using bone-in chicken is traditional and adds more depth and flavor to the gravy.
The vibrant red color comes from using Kashmiri red chilies or their powder. These chilies are known for their deep red hue rather than intense heat, making the dish visually appealing without being overly spicy.
To prevent curdling, always whisk the yogurt until it's completely smooth before adding it. Lower the heat significantly before stirring it into the curry. Add it gradually and stir continuously for a few minutes until it's well incorporated. Using full-fat, room-temperature yogurt also helps.
