Hello friends, welcome back to my channel.
My today's recipe is chicken tikka masala.
It is a very famous Indian dish though.
There is a debate who invented it first India or
UK, but let's not get into the debate instead.
Let's prepare this dish my way with a store-bought sauce
this time.
I'm going to use Patak’s chicken tikka.
Masala sauce so without any further delay.
Let's have a look at the ingredients now.
So our first ingredient is onions here.
I have around two small sized onions, which I have
diced into small cubes.
Next.
I have one medium sized capsicum which again I have
diced ,1 tablespoon of Ginger paste and 1 tablespoon of
garlic paste ,1 teaspoon ofKasoori Methi , some butter
for cooking and around 1/2 cup of fresh cream.
Our star ingredient Patak’s chicken tikka masala and 200 grams
of tomato puree. Today
I am using the store-bought one.
But if you want you can make tomato puree at
home also with 2 medium size tomatoes and finally our
marinated chicken.
And for the marination of the chicken, I'm going to
insert a clip right now.
So for the marination, we need a kilo of chicken.
I have used boneless thigh chicken, but if
you want you can use breast piece chicken also
1 tablespoon of Ginger paste and 1 tablespoon of garlic
paste , around 1/2 cup of yogurt.
And for the dry spices.
I'm going to use one tablespoon of Tandori masala
1/2 teaspoon
Red chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
So to marinate I will just add.
all the dried spices at the go
along with the ginger and garlic paste
and finally around half cup of yogurt, a little bit
of salt according to taste and 1 tablespoon of white
oil.
I'll mix all the ingredients thoroughly with my chicken and
marinate this for at least 8 to 10 hours or
even you can do it overnight.
My chicken is well mixed and I'm going to cling wrap it
now and store it in the refrigerator.
For me
it will be overnight.
So let's start cooking now.
My pan is hot and to this.
I'm going to add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Next I'm going to add in the diced onions and
diced capsicum.
I am going to just shallow fry them a little bit
for a minute or two.
The vegetables have been cooking for two minutes now and
I'm going to remove them from heat keeping the crunchiness
of the vegetables intact. In the same butter after removing
my onions and capsicum,
I'm going to add in the marinated chicken.
Here, I would like to mention that if you want
you can Grill your chicken
also instead of cooking it in a pan, but everyone
might not have an oven so today I thought of
using the frying pan.
So now I'm going to cover it and cook it
for 5 minutes on medium flame.
It's been 5 minutes
now.
I'm going to remove the lid and continue cooking till
my chicken is well-cooked.
I'll also higher the flame so that the water evaporates.
My chicken has been cooking for around 10 minutes now
on high flame and as you can see all the
water has dried up and the chicken is also well
cooked.
The oil has also started separating.
So now I'm going to remove this chicken and start
preparing our gravy.
In the same pan, I'm going to take around two
tablespoons of white oil.
And add in the
ginger, garlic paste,
cooking for a minute.
After cooking it for one minute
I'm going to add in my tomato puree and it
is around 200 grams half of the can . Gravy has
been cooking for two minutes now, and I'm going to
add in Patak’s Tikka masala sauce.
And around one cup of water, which I have mixed
in the jar itself because there was a lot of
sauce left in it.
Give it a good mix and cook it for another
two minutes.
My sauce has been cooking for around 2 minutes and
it has come to a boil and you can see
the oil has started floating on the top,
to this I will add in my cooked
chicken.
After adding the chicken give it a good mix and
finally add in the Kasoori methi powder around 1/2 teaspoon, and
finally add in the shallow fried onions and capsicums.
Mix it well.
And I will cover it and cook it for another
5 minutes on low Flame.
It's been 5 minutes now.
I'll remove the lid and as you can see the
oil has started floating on top.
I'll give a Final Mix.
And add in around 1/2 cup of cream.
I'm just eyeballing it.
Mix it well and our chicken
Tikka
Masala is ready to be served.
My chicken tikka.
Masala is ready, do try my way.
And I'm sure you're going to try it again and
again and if you can't find the brand Patak in
your country, then you can go for any other ready-made
sauce which is available in your country.
I'm sure it's going to turn out equally good and
on that note,
I'm going to end my video here.
