Chicken Tikka Masala

This Tikka Masala Recipe is a lovely flavorsome but mild tasting curry. Baby E devoured it last night with her yum yum sound which to me is the best praise I can get :-)


 Ingredients serve 2 adults 2 kids

·         4 chicken breasts

·         2 Shallots –finely grated

·         3 cloves garlic- finely grated

·         1 tspn tikka mix

·         ½ tspn turmeric

·         ½ tspn crushed cardamom seeds

·         4 tblsp of passata or ½ tin of chopped tomato-blitzed

·         1tblsp of tomato purée

·         ¼ pint- 120 mls of low salt chicken stock

·         120 g Crème fraiche 

 

~Cut 4 chicken breasts into chunks and place on a tray with some spray oil, place under a medium to hot grill for up to 15 minutes , turning once.
~Heat a non stick pan on a medium heat and use some spray olive oil (leaves the Tikka less greasy)
~Add Tikka mix, turmeric and cardamom seeds and stir for a minute
~Add Passata and tomato purée and cook for 3-4 minutes,then chicken stock and Creme Fraiche and cook for a further 2 minutes.

This is lovely served on a bed of brown rice with some salad and lime wedges or alternatively served cold as a salad dish or sandwich filler.
