Easy Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken marinated in a yogurt tikka mix before it's grilled until properly charred — that char is what separates a real tikka masala from just chicken in sauce.

Ingredients

600gchicken breast, cubed
1/2 cupyogurt tikka marinade
400gjarred tikka masala sauce
3 cupsrice to serve

Instructions

1

Marinate the chicken in the yoghurt tikka mix for at least 20 minutes, longer if you have time, so the yoghurt has a chance to tenderise the meat.

2

Grill or pan-sear the chicken over high heat until it is properly charred in spots.

3

That char is what separates a real tikka masala from just chicken in sauce.

4

Simmer the charred chicken in the tikka masala sauce for 10 minutes so the flavours meld, then serve over rice.
