Chicken Rogan Josh Curry
One of the most popular curries, found in all the curry houses and Indian restaurants across the country, Rogan Josh, is famous for a reason! Whilst this curry is typically made with lamb or mutton, we decided to go with an easy and commonly loved chicken option, making it an easy weeknight dinner that cooks quicker and is a lot less expensive to make! What is more, we don't use whole spices in this recipe for convenience, so if you have lots of ground spices in your cupboards, this is a great recipe to put them to good use! We are sure you will be in love with this Chicken Rogan Josh recipe.
