Description

Bring your favourite curry into your kitchen with this Chicken Rogan Josh. Warming and aromatic, it’s also a lot healthier than your standard takeaway meal.

The default recipe serves one.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 120g / 4.25 oz  chicken breast
  • 100g / 3.5oz tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 65ml / 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 medium tomato, quartered
  • 1 tbsp low-fat natural yogurt
  • diced red onion and chopped coriander to serve (optional)

For the spice mixture:

  • 1 small cinnamon stick
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp mild red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and gently saute until slightly golden (around 8 minutes)
  2. Add the garlic and the ginger to the pan and cook for a further minute before adding the chicken breast. Cook the chicken until lightly browned on all sides. 
  3. Add the spice mixture and cook for a further 30seconds, stirring together, to allow the spices to bloom (release their fragrance)
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock to the pan, season well and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the sliced tomatoes for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yogurt. 
  6. Serve with chopped red onions and chopped coriander over the top

Notes

  1. You can use ghee instead of olive oil for a more authentic recipe. You can also use vegetable or rapeseed (canola) oil instead of olive oil
  2. Bring the yoghurt to room temperature before adding to the curry, which will help to stop it from splitting.
  3. If you can’t find mild curry paste then you can use paprika instead, with a little cayenne pepper mixed in for some warmth.
