    Directions:
    [tabs type=”horizontal”] [tabs_head] [tab_title]Step by Step Method[/tab_title] [tab_title]Serving Suggestions[/tab_title][/tabs_head] [tab]

    Step 1

    To make the marinade:

    Mix the curry paste, yogurt, chicken and salt together, cover and leave overnight in the fridge to absorb all the delicious flavors.

    Step 2

    Preheat a conventional oven to 220ºC or a fan-assisted one to 200ºC.

    Step 3

    Wipe the marinade off the chicken and place, piece by piece, onto a baking tray.

    Step 4

    Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly charred, but not cooked through.

    Step 5

    You are just trying to get some colour here because the chicken will finish cooking in the curry sauce.

    Step 6

    Set the tikka chicken aside while you make the sauce.

    Step 7

    Heat the curry paste in a saucepan.

    Step 8

    Add the onion and sweat slowly over a low heat for five to eight minutes or until the onion is translucent and soft.

    Step 9

    It is important to take the time to do this slowly because the onion will then release its natural sugars, producing a sweeter dish, but be careful not to do this over too high a heat because the curry paste will burn.

    Step 10

    Add the pasta and coconut milk and bring to the boil.

    Step 11

    Turn down the heat and add the tikka chicken.

    Step 12

    Cook over a low heat for five minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Step 13

    Finish by stirring through the yogurt and coriander.

    Step 14

    To make the Fragrant Rice:

    Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the aromatics to a pan and cover with enough water to come 1cm over the top of the rice.

    Step 15

    Bring to the boil and simmer for eight minutes, covered.

    Step 16

    The rice should have absorbed almost all of the water, but still be a bit wet.

    Step 17

    Remove from the heat and leave to absorb the remaining water for 10 minutes, covered.

    Step 18

    Remove the cinnamon stick before serving with the curry. Chicken Tikka Masala Rice is ready to serve. Enjoy!
