Another classic curry that's been adapted to be prepared speedily in a microwave.
Ingredients:
2 skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2.5cm pieces
200ml tomato passata
50ml double cream, plus more to serve
For the marinade:
1 tbsp butter or ghee, melted in the microwave
1 heaped tbsp
tikka masala paste
1 heaped tsp
tikka masala spice blend
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp (heaped) garlic and ginger paste
To serve:
Steamed rice
Finely chopped coriander leaves
Finely chopped red chilli
mango chutney
Crispy poppadums
Method:
Blend together all the marinade ingredients in a microwave-safe dish then fold in the chicken pieces, stirring so that they are coated in the marinade. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Allow to come to room temperature then space out the chicken pieces into a single layer. Cover the dish then place in your microwave and cook on FULL POWER for two minutes. Use a probe thermometer to make sure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 75°C.
Uncover the dish then pour in the tomato passata and double cream. Stir to mix then cover again and cook for a further four minutes. Once cooked, allow to rest for a minute so the internal temperature can equalize.
Serve with rice, a drizzle of double cream, a scattering of chopped coriander, chopped red chilli, mango chutney and crispy poppadums.
