Ingredients

3 tbspbutter
400gjarred tikka masala sauce
2 tbspcream to finish (optional)

Instructions

1

Brown the chicken in butter over high heat until it is sealed and lightly coloured on the outside.

2

It does not need to be cooked through yet at this stage.

3

Pour in the tikka masala sauce and simmer for about fifteen minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

4

Stir through a splash of cream off the heat right at the end, added too early it can split in the simmering sauce, and serve with rice.
