'Best Ever' Chicken Tikka Masala

So I was cleaning out the other night and came across a lost cookbook full of Indian superfood recipes its a book by Gurpareet Bains who specialises in healthy food.

Any way I was having a browse and came across a dish labelled the best ever chicken tikka masala...I was obviously curious because like the majority of the rest of England I love a chicken tikka, so I made it tonight!

I served it up for dinner for the family and it went down very well. Its billed as being a super healthy version without cream and replaced with coconut milk instead and providing you with 235%+ RDA of antioxidants which is impressive.

If you fancy ago too you'll need:

1 teaspoon cloves
15 green cardamon pods slightly crushed
1 onion thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 tablespoons tandoori masala powder
5 tablespoons tomato puree
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons peeled ginger grated.
2-4 green chillies chopped
500g chicken breast chopped
800ml coconut milk.

heat the oil and cloves and cardamon together until aromatic on a low-medium heat then add the onions and cook until brown for about 5mins. Add the garlic and cook until light brown.

Sprinkle in the ground ginger and tandoori masala powder and cook for 20secs. Then add the tomato puree, sugar, fresh ginger and chillies, mix well and cook until the puree is heated through, 1-2mins.

Add the diced chicken, mix well and cook until sealed all over. Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Simmer uncovered for 25mins stir occasionally.

Season to taste and garnish with some chopped coriander.

Hope you can find the time to give this recipe a try its very simple and healthy!
