Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra ½ tsp
- 4 cm piece of ginger, peeled and cut into long thin slices
- 75g natural yoghurt
- 15g mint, leaves picked
- 15g coriander, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- 45g cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
- 1 300g pack The Spice Tailor Original Tikka Masala Curry Kit
- 250g chicken thighs, diced
- 2 green chillies, cut into long thin slices
Method
Step 1
Heat ½ tsp vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the ginger for a few minutes until golden and crispy, then remove from the pan and leave to one side on a piece of kitchen roll.
Step 2
Mix the yoghurt, mint and most of the coriander together in a small food processor, or pestle and mortar, until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Stir through the finely diced cucumber and set to one side.
Step 3
For the curry, return the frying pan to a medium high heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil, dry spices from the spice sachet and fry for 20 secs until aromatic.
Step 4
Add the diced chicken thighs to brown lightly. Add the Original Tikka Masala base sauce from the small pouch and simmer for a few mins.
Step 5
Stir in the main sauce, bring to a simmer and gently bubble for 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through, adding a splash of water if it begins to look a little dry.
Step 6
Serve with basmati rice, drizzle over the herby cucumber yoghurt, then scatter with remaining coriander, sliced chilli and fried ginger.
