Preheat the Oven: Before starting the cooking process, preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
-
Prepare the Spices: In a small bowl, soak the saffron in water, allowing it to infuse and release its vibrant color and aroma. Meanwhile, spread the almonds, cardamom pod, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds in a glass casserole dish.
-
Toast the Spices: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake the spices for about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. This toasting process enhances the flavor and aroma of the spices, creating a rich base for the Rogan Josh.
-
Saute the Aromatics: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the chopped onion and sautรฉ for about 2 minutes until softened and translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and ginger, continuing to sautรฉ for another minute until fragrant.
-
Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium and add the marinated chicken along with any excess yogurt to the pan. Pour in the saffron-infused water, ensuring all the flavorful juices are incorporated. Stir well to combine.
-
Season and Simmer: Add the chopped chili pepper, turmeric, salt, and toasted almonds to the pan, stirring to evenly distribute the spices. Cover the pan and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Add the Bananas (Optional): After the initial cooking time, uncover the pan and add the sliced bananas if using. Continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the bananas to soften slightly.
-
Final Touches: Once the Rogan Josh has finished cooking, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot alongside steamed rice or your favorite Indian bread.
