Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Flatbreads and Kachumber step by step
- Combine all marinade ingredients with the chicken, mix well and refrigerate for at least an hour but ideally overnight. Fry your chicken on a hot pan, skewer and grill or bake in oven at 230 degrees for 15-20 minutes..
- To make the sauce, heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and saute onion, garlic and ginger until tender. Add masala blend and turmeric. Stir well for up to one minute ensuring spices cooked well. Stir in tomato purée, tinned tomatoes and water. Bring to the boil and cook for about five minutes. Then pour some yoghurt in..
- Remove chicken from the oven and add to the sauce mix, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add more yoghurt if preferred. Garnish with coriander..
- For the flatbreads, mix the self raising flour and yoghurt in a bowl and knead using extra flour if required. Splash some olive oil on the surface and roll out 4 naan breads. Fry breads on hot pan and finish off under grill with garlic parsley butter. I melted few knobs of butter with 2 chopped garlic cloves and some fresh parsley and allow them to cool before brushing on the bread..
- For the kachumber, mix the cucumber, red onion and tomato in a bowl with lemon juice and salt. Allow to mix for 5-10 minutes then garnish with fresh coriander..
So I had all four servings in one whole day. Chicken tikka masala is a dish of marinated and broiled chunks of chicken in a creamy, spice-infused tomato sauce. It makes a fabulous family feast. In a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, whisk together the yogurt, salt, turmeric, garam masala, coriander, and cumin. Marinating the chicken in some yogurt while sautéing the onions and garlic with the spices helps both flavor the chicken, tenderize it, and help make a thicker finished sauce.
