Topic: Chicken Rogan Josh

[JerryM]

Chris,

i remade this week and 100% spot on for my taste buds (tomato, garlic, chilli). it's simply fantastic.

i made the small changes as i said. the fresh toms were brill and really did it for us (i used 4 for 2 of us and chopped medium chunks - just to fit in mouth without need to cut).

i used the same saffron base as last time but changed the ratio/proportion of spice mix per person to 1 tsp LB's and 1/2 tsp of the Rogan Josh Masala (200ml sauce). i also made 1 portion with 1 tsp LB's and 1 tsp of the balti masala (the red one) and we liked that just the same (can't say which was better). Nb the Rogan Josh Masala was the original with the 4 off black cardamom so i have to retract that as with the adjusted proportion the taste was spot on.

sorry but i also added some (i mean a lot) of pre fried slithers of garlic which i do quite often whatever the dish is.

it's a clear 10/10 jobby for me. many thanks

Wicked. It is much better for you to adjust for your own taste buds - I do it 

[Derek Dansak]

looks fantastic, can anyone say where they got the balti base sauce, and rogan josh masala from? are these pataks, or are they included on this site somewhere? Ta

[Chris303]

Use any base you want from this site mate....

Masala mix is on the previous page.

no pataks ... blasthemy  ;D

Tried making this one last night. I took a couple of Jerry M's tips into consideration (with the Rogan Josh Masala recipe listed here on  this site, I cut the black pods down to two, used a bit less of the RJ Masala in the dish, added fresh tomatos instead of tinned)


I haven't really had this in a BIR before, so I can't really compare it unfortunetly...but it was delicious . Looked like the pictures here, so I think I did it right at least.  lol .

Only thing I need to do is modify some of the onion/tomato portions, which I played kind of by ear, and I think I over did it.

I found myself snacking on a bite here, and a bite there of leftovers after cleanup

Thanks for the recipe!

Malachyte,

much appreciate the reminder on this - it had gone off my radar and must start making it often.

just for info UB has a recipe which i have on my to do list - maybe of interest http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2711.msg24269.html#msg24269

Yeah, I'll be trying that one out. I need to find a good place in my area that sells lamb at a reasonable price . Here in the States it's not as readily available as in the UK.

There's a Mediterranean grocer opening up soon by the house that is supposed to have a huge spice inventory, and carry lamb as standard...so I'm looking forward to that .

i don't use lamb at all in any curry - must be a personal taste bud thing as i always stick to using chicken or leaving meat out completely.
