Ingredients

  • 1 each Coles RSPCA Approved Medium Whole Chicken
  • 200 g Natural Yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 100 g Tomato Puree
  • 100 ml Cream
  • 250 g Basmati Rice
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 large Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tsp Ginger
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and removing any excess fat or skin.
  2. In a bowl, mix the yoghurt with ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder, and grated ginger. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the yoghurt mixture and mix until well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  4. Heat a large frying pan or grill and lightly oil it. Cook the marinated chicken pieces until they are slightly charred but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, heat some more oil. Add finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
  6. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for an additional minute.
  7. Stir in the tomato puree and simmer for around 5 minutes to thicken.
  8. Pour in cream and a splash of water (if the consistency is too thick). Mix well.
  9. Add the semi-cooked chicken pieces back into the sauce. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  10. Meanwhile, cook basmati rice according to the package instructions.
  11. Serve the Chicken Tikka Masala hot, garnished with fresh coriander if desired, along with the basmati rice.
