Armed with the recipe from Jamie Oliver, I made Chicken Tika and it was delicious! Never thought it can be that easy to make Indian curries at home. No more expensive and oily take aways!
I adapted his recipe by adding more veges and reduced the amount of chicken to make it a one pot dish. Add some microwave papadums and the crunch factor is the bonus.
Chicken Tika Masala (serves 4)
2 chicken breasts diced1 onion sliced
1 red chili diced
some minced ginger
1 pataks tika masala sauce
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
Added:
1 carrot diced
2 cups of beans sliced
2 fresh tomato diced
2 cups of mushrooms sliced.
omitted- tin of coconut milk and natural yogurt
Cumin spiced papadums microwaved for 20 seconds.
Heat a deep pan with oil. Sizzle garlic, chili and ginger and onion. Add curry paste and cook till it smells oh so good! Brown chicken in the same pan. Add all veges and tin of tomato. Add a little water if needed (as i didnt use coconut milk). Bring it to boil. Simmer for around 15-20 mins. Do a taste test and adjust accordingly. I do not usually add salt as the paste contains some.
If you have some sliced almonds, toast and serve curry with almonds and yogurt and papadums.

Love the color and looks delicious. I like the microwave papadums, not sure we can get the papadums here. I had some recently but my friend brought it over from Singapore.
It is Sunday and I feel lazy to cook... please send me some of this :)
definitely more balanced with the added vegetables.
