Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 500 grams chicken breast
Supporting Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons tikka masala paste
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt
Base and Liquid Ingredients:
- 200 grams plain yogurt
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 onion
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Fresh coriander
Instructions
- Combine 500g diced chicken breast with 200g plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons tikka masala paste in a large bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, ensuring each piece gets fully coated.
- Warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 chopped onion until translucent and soft, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 inch grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until their aromatic qualities become pronounced.
- Transfer the marinated chicken into the skillet. Cook at medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown each piece evenly.
- Pour 400g canned tomatoes and 200ml coconut milk into the skillet. Stir ingredients to blend smoothly and create a consistent sauce.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, cooking thoroughly while developing rich flavors.
- Taste and sprinkle salt as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander before serving your aromatic dish hot.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat for a more delicious result.
- Opt for full-fat yogurt in the marinade to help create a richer, creamier sauce that clings perfectly to the chicken.
- If coconut milk isn’t your preference, substitute with heavy cream for an equally luxurious texture.
- For a lighter version, swap chicken thighs with chicken breast and use Greek yogurt to reduce calories without losing taste.
