Chicken tikka masala Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put the oil into a large, wide pan and set it over a medium-high heat. When it is very hot, put in the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Stir once, then add the onions. Stir until they begin to brown at the edges. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and paprika and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add the tandoori chicken marinade, a tablespoon at a time, and stir it in so it is absorbed by the spices.
  • Add the tomato, tomato puree, and garam masala, and cook, stirring, for a minute. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Taste for salt, adding about 1/4 teaspoon or as needed. Add the cooked chicken and the juices from the baking tray. Raise the heat to high and fold the chicken into the sauce. The sauce should thicken and cling to the chicken pieces.

    I've been considering trying this as a quicker weeknight supper beginning with a rotisserie chicken instead of a Tandoori-style chicken, and preparing the yogurt marinade to go into the tikka masala sauce. I know it wouldn't be the same as if the meat had been marinated overnight in a succulent yogurt sauce, but I think it would still make a tasty, fast curry.
