Rogan Josh is a Kashmiri slow cooked spicy curry that is packed full of flavour. I am using chicken, but you can use lamb or beef. Every household has a different version of rogan josh. This is the way I make it. The authentic rogan josh is made from lamb or goat.
In my house chicken, rogan josh is always in demand! My rogan josh recipe is really simple. I think it roughly takes 40 minutes to cook. There exist elaborated forms of rogan josh using dozens of spices.
In my recipe, you won't find too much preparation just layering of ingredients in a specific sequence and you will have a lip smacking dish on your table in forty minutes. Life is too short to spend hours in front of a cooking stove, don't you think?
So try to prepare delicious food in short time whenever possible. I know some dishes demand time but you can always create shortcuts couldn't you.
