Ingredients for 4 people

• 600 g of chicken breasts or thighs

• 3 tablespoons of Patak's Tikka Masala Paste

• 1 yellow onion

• 2 garlic cloves

• 400 g of crushed tomatoes

• 20 cl of heavy cream

• 1 plain yogurt

• 1 tablespoon of oil

• 1 teaspoon of paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin

• The juice of half a lemon

• A few sprigs of fresh coriander

• Salt and pepper

• Basmati rice

• Naan or Indian bread as a side

Chicken Tikka Masala preparation

1. Marinate the chicken

Cut the chicken into even pieces. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, one tablespoon of Patak's Tikka Masala Paste, salt and pepper.

Add the chicken and mix so that every piece is well coated. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For even more flavorful and tender meat, you can extend the marinating time up to 4 hours.

2. Brown the chicken

Heat the oil in a large pan. Drain the chicken pieces slightly, then brown them over high heat for a few minutes.

The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage: it will finish cooking directly in the tikka masala sauce.

Set the chicken aside.

3. Prepare the Tikka Masala sauce

In the same pan, sauté the finely chopped onion for 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic then the remaining 2 tablespoons of Patak's Tikka Masala Paste. Sauté for about 2 minutes to release the fragrance of the spices.

Then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir and let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

4. Add the chicken and cream

Return the chicken pieces to the sauce.

Pour in the heavy cream, stir, then let simmer over low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken is perfectly cooked and the sauce has become smooth and velvety.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

5. Serve the Chicken Tikka Masala

Serve your homemade Chicken Tikka Masala immediately with steaming hot basmati rice.

Add a few fresh coriander leaves at the last moment and serve the dish with a naan to fully enjoy the creamy spiced sauce.

For a spicier version, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce or some Patak's chili pickles.

This Chicken Tikka Masala The Gentlemen style thus revisits one of the great classics born from the meeting between British culture and Indian flavors.

Serve it with good basmati rice, a naan and a touch of chili for a generous and convivial meal.
