The rich, highly aromatic Kashmiri dish known as rogan josh typically is made with lamb. We use bone-in chicken thighs that have had their skin removed before cooking to prevent the sauce from becoming too greasy. Butter and warm spices flavor the dish, and yogurt stirred in at the end adds creaminess. We use cinnamon sticks, whole cardamom pods and cumin seeds instead of the ground form of these spices so the sauce is velvety and without any chalkiness. Serve with basmati rice or warm naan.
Don't use regular yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt. Its thinner consistency will make the sauce watery. We preferred the richness of whole-milk Greek yogurt, but low-fat will work, too. Don't use nonfat, which lacks flavor.
