Chicken Tikka Chasni
You can have tasty Chicken Tikka Chasni on the table in 30 minutes using this method. No base curry sauce required! You can either make homemade chicken tikka in advance or you can use cooked rotisserie chicken instead for a quick and simple meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon ghee or butter or vegetable oil
- 2 brown onion pureed
- 2 teaspoon ginger paste
- 2 teaspoon garlic paste
- 600 g chicken tikka cooked weight. Recipe for Homemade Chicken Tikka linked in Notes section below, or alternatively, use cooked rotisserie chicken.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 4 tablespoon tomato ketchup OR pasatta with ½ teaspoon of sugar for sweetness
- 4 tablespoon mango chutney
- 300 ml boiling water
- 1 teaspoon mint sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red food colouring
- 75 ml double cream
- coriander optional garnish
To Serve
- rice
- naan / chapati
Instructions
- For the ideal curry consistency (thick) - blend 2 brown onion in a blender until it forms a paste (or finely chop if you don’t have a blender, although grating it would work too). If you prefer a thinner, runnier sauce - use 1 onion and chop it finely instead.
- Melt 2 tablespoon ghee in pan, add pureed onion and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon chilli powder, 2 teaspoon ginger paste and 2 teaspoon garlic paste to the pan and fry for 2 minutes.
- Then add 4 tablespoon tomato ketchup, 4 tablespoon mango chutney and 300 ml boiling water - simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes
- Add 1 teaspoon mint sauce and 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pour in 75 ml double cream and stir through 600 g chicken tikka (cooked)
- Stir through the optional 1 tablespoon red food colouring if you want the vibrant red colour of a typical takeaway Chicken Tikka Chasni and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
- Serve with rice, naan / chapati and garnish with freshly chopped coriander.
