INGREDIENTS

  • 500g Frozen Breaded Chicken
  • 60g Butter
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 400g Tomato
  • 120g Greek Yoghurt
  • 240ml Milk
  • 4 tsp Cooking Oil
  • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 8g Coriander

STEPS

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C, or 180°C fan. Arrange 500g of frozen breaded chicken on a lined baking tray and bake for 20 to 24 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp, deeply golden, and piping hot throughout. Keep the cooked chicken on the clean tray.

    ⏱ 20 min

  2. 2

    While the chicken cooks, heat 4 tsp of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 onion (finely chopped) and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and lightly golden.

    ⏱ 6 min

  3. 3

    Add 3 tsp of garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tsp of ground coriander, and 1 tsp of paprika, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

    ⏱ 2 min

  4. 4

    Add 400g of tomato (finely chopped), 1 tsp of sugar, and 2 tsp of salt. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens.

    ⏱ 8 min

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to low. Whisk 120g of greek yoghurt until smooth, then stir it into the skillet. Add 240ml of milk gradually and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, without boiling, until creamy.

    ⏱ 3 min

  6. 6

    Stir in 2 tsp of garam masala and 60g of butter until the butter melts. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

    ⏱ 1 min

  7. 7

    Cut the baked chicken into bite-size pieces and add it to the sauce. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to coat and heat it through. Scatter over 8g of coriander (chopped) and serve immediately.

    ⏱ 2 min
