Chicken Tikka Masala

This post is in: Chicken, Recipes for Mum

A really easy Indian dish when you’re lazy; and feeling spYceee!

This is one of my favourite Indian recipes. I must warn you, its very spicy unless you add lotsa yoghurt to it!

Ingredients

+   1 kg chicken
+   Chicken Tikka Powder (I used SHAN brand)
+   6 tablespoon Yoghurt
+   1 teaspoon Ginger
+   1 teaspoon Garlic
+   Juice of half lemon
+   1 Onion (sliced)
+   Potatoes (optional)
+   1 cup water

Method

  • Marinate the chicken with ginger, garlic, yoghurt and lemon overnight. It has to be left marinated at least 6 hours before you start cooking it!
  • Heat oil and fry chicken till half cook. Leave aside.
  • Using only 1 tablespoon of oil from the fried chicken, add in the onions and fry until brown and fragrant.
  • Then put in the chicken, 1 cup of water and potatoes; and cook until potatoes are well done which is roughly about 15 minutes.
  • You may add more water if you want more sauce or add more yoghurt if you like it mild. I like mine dry and spicy with only a bit of sauce!
