Rogan Josh / Kushi Chicken Rogan Josh
February 25, 2010, 08:33 PM
This recipe comes from the "Authentic Balti Curry" cookbook ISBN 141205592 - X

This Rogan Josh is an elaborate dish to prepare, because it's slightly different.  It's essentially a curry, garnished with a.......curry!

Per portion:

Step One

1 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 medium sizd onion, finely chopped
2 tsp of Kushi spice https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1547.0
1/2 fresh tomato, chopped
A portion of pre-cooked chicken https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4293.0
125ml or more of kushi base sauce https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4283.0
Fresh coriander leaves to garnish

Step Two:

2 tsp vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 tsp kushi spice https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4296.0
1 whole tomato, chopped

Step one makes a basic curry, which will then be garnished with the dish made in step two.

Step One:

Put a pan on the heat and add the vegetable oil.  When it's fairly hot, add the garlic, and stir until slightly brown.  Then, add the onion, and stir until it too becomes slightly brown.  Take off the heat, add the kushi spice and chopped tomato, then heat gently for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

The, add the pre-cooked chicken followed by the kushi base sauce.  Stir constantly, and cook for about 2 minutes.  Then let it simmer on a low heat while you continue with step two.

Step Two:

Take a seperate pan.  Add the vegetable oil, and bring to a moderate heat.  Add the garlic until it browns, then add the onion until it too is golden brown.  Remove from the heat, add the kushi spice, and tomato, then cook for one minute until the tomato becomes soft and begins to fall apart.

Finally, pour the mixture from step two onto the curry you made up in step one, to complete the whole dish.  Don't mix them up, just sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves, and serve immediately.

Because of the way it's made, some people tend to find this rogan josh a bit oily, but if you hold the dish at an angle, you can spoon off some of the oil which floats to the surface - making it healthier and less greasy.

Gently heat the vegetable oil in the pan

Add the garlic and onion, and stir until it starts to go golden brown.  (If it goes completely brown, it won't give the right flavour)

Remove from the heat, and immediatley add the kushi spice and chilli powder, stirring constantly.

Add the sugar, lemon juice and tomato.  Stir

Return to a low heat and add the pre-cooked chicken

Next, add the kushi base sauce and bring to the boil.

Add the garlic and onion and fry until golden brown.  Remove from the heat.

Then add the pre-cooked chicken.

Return to the heat, and add the tomatoes, stirring once again.

After a few minutes, add the base sauce and cook until it starts to boil.

Simmer for around five minutes, and the water content will eveapourate.  It should be quite a dry dish.  The sauce will become thicker and drier, the longer you heat the dish.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve.

Hi Jerry,

Yeah no problem, are you looking for something in particular.  It is very much "old skool menu" though!

Hi Ghandi,

Whereabouts is the store that you goto in Manchester?

By the way, this is an awesome site and you'll be as addicted to this as you are to curries ;D

As a recommendation, have a look at Cory Anders recipes, very clear and easy to follow.

Hi Herman,

Found this on wikipedia,  probably doesn't help you much in yor search for the dish but an interesting read nonetheless.

Sonargaon (Bangla: সোনারগাঁও) is the ancient capital of Isa Khan's kingdom in Bengal. It is located near the current-day city of Narayanganj, Bangladesh. The great Muslim traveler Ibn Battuta visited it in the 14th century. It is the eastern terminus of the Grand Trunk Road, which was built by Sher Shah Suri in the 16th century, and which extends approximately 2500 kilometres across northern India and Pakistan to Peshawar in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province.

Interesting....it's the first time I've seen a menu refer to using "special oil"  (i.e. "rogan josh - the characteristics of the dish are derived from....fried in special oil")

CA,

When I read this from the menu, I instantly thought of you and your spiced oil ;D

I think that this confirms, that it does exist, at least in some capcity!

P.S,  The music was a little bit irritating wasn't it? :(

Hi Paul,

I would recommend the book.  I think it cost's about a tenner.  If you're into Balti's, then I think you will enjoy the book.  Is there any dish in particular that you're looking for?,  let me know and I'll check the book and post the recipe for ya, if you want?

Don't forget, this recipe is just for the basic balti but it should give you a flavour of the books other recipes.
