Topic: Chicken Rogan Josh

[Malachyte]

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

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

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?  )....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) 

[Cory Ander]

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!

Great pic's, looks good and not one I have tried yet, might have to give it a go 

[parker21]

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 :
