Tikka Masala

Each box contains enough Tikka Masala Spice and Garnish Spice to make this curry 4 times over.

To make a curry for 2 people the following additional ingredients are required:

1. Your choice of meat (eg 450 grams of Chicken Breast or Lamb Chunks)
2. Two medium onions
3. 1/2 tin of tomatoes or 3 fresh tomatoes
4. Yogurt

*optional*

1. Fresh Coriander
2. Garlic
3. Ginger

Step 1
Blend or finely chop 2 onions, then fry in a little oil for approximately 7 minutes until the onions go soft. If they start to stick add a little water.

Step 2
Add 1 table spoon of the ‘Tikka Masala Spice’ to the onions.

Step 3
Now add two tablespoons of plain yogurt and continue to fry for a further 2 minutes. **optional -you can add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and a little ginger at this point.

Step 4
Now add 1 chicken breast cubed to the pan, and seal on full heat until the chicken changes colour (approx 5 mins), if it starts to stick add a little water. Basically you want to fry the chicken, and listen to the sizzle!

Step 5
Now add either ½ tin of chopped tomatoes or two freshly sliced tomatoes and fry for a further 2 minutes. Then add ½ cup of water and bring to boil.

Step 6
Add 1 tea spoon of 'Garnish spice', and then turn down heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 7
Finally add salt to taste sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve hot! You have just cooked the 'Best Curry You Can'.
