Chicken Tikka with Masala

Ingredients

2tbs oil

1 medium onion

2tbs Patak’s Tikka Masala Paste

200ml water

1tsp garlic & ginger chopped (optional)

250g diced chicken breast

200g canned chopped tomatoes

100ml double cream

Direction

If you want (although you don’t have to), you can marinade the chicken first with half yoghurt, half spice paste, and then either grill it separately or add it uncooked into the sauce and allow to cook through. 

 

Heat oil in a med saucepan. 

Add onion; cook until soft.

Add Patak’s Tikka Masala Paste, 100ml of water, ginger and garlic. Stir occasionally, until reduced and thickened.

Add chicken, fry until sealed.

Add 100ml water, tomatoes, bring to the boil, simmer un-covered for 10 minutes.

Add double cream and a pinch of sugar (optional)

Simmer un-covered for 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
