Charred chicken in a creamy curry sauce - a crowd favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1kg chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 100g natural yoghurt
  • 120g (1/4 cup) tikka masala curry paste
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
  • 6 fresh curry leaves (optional)
  • 1 red capsicum, coarsely chopped
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 fresh green chilli, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2.5cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated
  • 250ml (1 cup) chicken style liquid stock
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 5.60 gm tomato paste
  • 100ml thickened cream
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • Steamed rice, to serve
  • Cooked pappadums, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a glass bowl, mix together the chicken, yogurt, and half of the curry paste. Season with your favorite spices. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add curry leaves and cover. Let cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add capsicum, onion, chilli, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 5 minutes until golden. Stir in the remaining curry paste and cook for 2 minutes until aromatic. Pour in stock, tomato, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in a spacious frying pan over medium heat. Brown chicken in two batches for 5 minutes until slightly charred. Transfer to the sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes until fully cooked. Stir in cream and lemon juice for an additional 5 minutes. Serve with rice and pappadums.
