Chicken Tikka Masala

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

1 kg. chicken brest, skinned, boned and cut into bite size pieces

 
Marinade:
200 gm natural yoghurt (creamy yoghurt is better)
1 tbs. oil
1 1/2 tbs. coriander powder
1 tsp. chilli powder (adjust to taste)
Juice of 1 lemon/lime
2 tsp. sweet paprika powder for colour
1 tsp. Garam Masala

Salt to taste


For cooking:
1-2 tbs. oil
2 medium onions peeled and thinly sliced
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated
1 inch root ginger, peeled and grated
1 large tomato, chopped*
1 tbs. tomato puree*

 

Directions

 

1. Wash and drain chicken pieces.

2. Mix all marinade ingredients and make a paste. Marinade chicken pieces in this mix overnight or for at least a few hours. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge to avoid smell getting into everything else.

3. Heat oil in a large wok or pan.

4. Stir fry chicken, along with the marinade, on high for 6-7 minutes. Take out and keep aside.

5. In another pan, fry onion, ginger and garlic until nicely browned.

6. Add Tomatoes and tomato puree (or soup) and fry for a few minutes.

7. Add the cooked chicken and its marinade to the onions and boil briskly until sauce thickens and the chicken is tender. You may need to add a little water or chicken stock if the gravy looks too thick. The sauce should be of custard like consistency.

8. Adjust spices and salt.

9. Serve hot with Roti/Naan or Rice and sliced onion salad and slices of fresh lime.
