Directions
1
In goes olive oil, fresh lemon juice, a teaspoon of garlic and ginger, and a few spoons of creamy yogurt for the marinade.
2
Drop in one small onion and as many green chillies as your taste buds can handle into the marinade mixture.
3
Add salt, coriander powder, cumin, garam masala, anardana, amchur, paprika and chili flakes to the marinade.
4
Blend the marinade smooth, then stir in a handful of chopped coriander.
5
Pour the marinade over diced chicken breast and massage it in.
6
Roast the marinated chicken at 230 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes until golden, juicy, and a bit crispy.
7
Dice two onions and gently fry them in olive oil with a few bay leaves until they are golden and sweet to build the sauce.
8
Stir in some more ginger and garlic paste into the fried onions.
9
Add a splash of passata and a bit of water to loosen the sauce.
10
Season the sauce with salt, coriander powder, cumin, garam masala, and red chili basar.
11
Chuck in about a cup full of yogurt into the sauce and cook it down until it's thick and rich.
12
Add the roasted chicken tikka with its juices into the sauce.
13
Give it a good stir, cover, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so all the flavors can meld.
14
Finish the dish by adding some chopped tomatoes, more green chillies for extra heat, and a generous handful of coriander.
15
Serve with buttered roti or just a spoon.
