Title: Chicken Rogan Josh
Post by: Malachyte on March 29, 2009, 10:43 PM
So I hope I did this right.  This is a Chicken Rogan Josh I made tonight http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2478.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2478.0)

with a couple of modifications based on JerryM's suggestions...and a bit of evidence that I really like corriander :)

That looks absolutely scrumptious.

How did it taste?

Really really nice. I tend to make this particular recipe quite a bit,because the spice is just right for my palate, and I always tend to have the ingredients for it on hand.  It was tough to stop eating it  :D

looks spot on Malachyte.

did u put fresh tomato in - i can't pick it out in the pic.

may or may not be of interest but i would chop the onion smaller (only to try to look more like BIR).

which spice mix did u use the rogan josh masala or the balti masala.

I used the Rogan Josh Masala, and just tinned tomatos with this one (normally I use fresh, but I was out, and this was one of those "Spur of the moment" things)

I'll keep the onion tip in mind. I need to sharpen up my knife a bit I think is the problem (...or...maybe get a decent quality knife first? Hmmmm..)

Nice pics malachyte (are you a copper carbonate compound or something then?  :P)....but, please, what is "rogan josh masala"?  :-\ Are you and Jerry saying that BIRs use a special rogan josh spice mix for rogan josh?  If so, what is it please?

The Rogan Josh Masala Recipe I used is here -->  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2477.0

I cut the Black pods down from 4 to 2. (But I suppose that's all up to preference isn't it?) 

I'm not sure if a proper BIR uses a mix like this, or similar to it, or does something else. Sorry :(
(This is where I exclaim "I"M NEW!!!"  LoL)

No worries Malachyte  :)

I was just curious as to where it came from.  I now see (thanks to your link) that Chris says it's an "authentic" (i.e. traditional) Indian spice mix, rather than a BIR spice mix.  Unless someone knows differently?

Your curry looks great regardless!  :P

hi CA have you not tried the rogan josh sauce from the BE curry house cookery then? as i doubt whether a BIR would have a separate spice mix for the individual dishes you rightly question.
btw malachyte great pic mate looks good enough to eat ::)

the reference to BIR was only on the size of onion.

on the spice mix for rogan josh Chris303's recipe calls for the rogan josh masala. at the time Chris posted recipe for Balti Masala. i'm not sure where the original recipe is but i have it as (all ground powders): coriander 12 parts, methi 3, cumin 3, chilli 1.5, Turmeric 4, Garlic 4, Ginger 2, mustard seed 2, green cardamom 2off, Fennel 2, curry leaves 4off (i don't use), whole clove 7 off (i would not add), casis 4", onion 0.5, Lovage 0.5 (not used), Bay 5 off, star anis 1 off, fenugreek seed 1/2 part. i'm not sure where the original recipe is posted (and can't find). i use panch puran to cover some of the mix requirements (fennel, mustard, cumin, fenugreek and i think mustard "nigela")

having used both spice mixes in the rogan josh i felt the balti masala just had the edge over the rogan josh masala.

Hmm, I might try out the Balti Masala then once i've finished off the batch of RJ Masala that I have made. Thanks for the tip
