chicken tikka masala recipe

Hey there,

This week I forgot to specify what kind of meal I was going to cook since my menu only said a rice dish, this is due to my son being a picky eater and loving one thing today and hating it the next day, very normal by the way. So the only meat I had was chicken and decided to make chicken tikka masala. This was sort of me trying out Lorraine Pascale’s recipe minus the spring onions because I had none so I went ahead and just used white onions instead and still had a great result.To make this meal the way I did, you will need,

chicken tikka masala recipe

Ingredients

  • 400 grams diced chicken
  • A large white onion
  • 300ml single cream
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of Garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • A thumb of ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • A bunch of coriander
  • 3 tablespoons of tomato pastechicken tikka masala recipe

METHOD

  • In a pan, pour in your Olive oil and put on medium heat.
  • Chop up your onions then mince the garlic and ginger.
  • Put your diced chicken in the oil in one layer and make sure to keep turning them as they start to brown.
  • While the chicken is doing its thing, prep your spices and put them aside.
  • Once the chicken is evenly browned, put in the onions, salt, garlic and ginger and stir.
  • Then take your spices and tomato paste and also put them in and continue stirring, now it’s time for the single cream and stir again.
  • Put a lid on and let it simmer for a while, but make sure to be checking on it.
  • Then chop up the coriander, once your chicken is cooked all through and the cream has thickened, switch it off and put in the coriander.
  • Stir it once more and it’s done.
  • Serve and enjoy.
