Description

A bold and creamy Indian-inspired chicken tikka masala featuring marinated chicken breast cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce infused with aromatic spices, inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s style of cooking. This flavorful curry offers a perfect balance of heat and creaminess, ideal for serving with rice or naan.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 500 g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tikka masala paste

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 can tomato puree (about 400 g)
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with yogurt and tikka masala paste. Mix thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.
  2. Sauté the Onions: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices release their aroma, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is sealed and no longer pink on the outside.
  5. Simmer with Tomato Puree: Pour in the tomato puree, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  6. Finish with Cream: Stir in the cream and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes on low heat to achieve a rich, creamy texture. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or naan bread.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust the amount of tikka masala paste or spices according to your preferred heat level.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving for added freshness and aroma.
