Tikka Masala Curry Wet Cook-In Sauce

Recipe developed for Royco by @leyfortskitchen

Vegetarian

Use firm tofu, chickpeas or chunky vegetables like butternut and cauliflower in place of chicken. Let them simmer in the sauce until tender and full of flavour.

Family Friendly

If your kids prefer milder meals, reduce the spice by using less black pepper and ginger. Try shredding the chicken once cooked – it’s easier for little ones and great for serving with soft rolls.

Cook’s tip

Don’t skip browning the chicken! It locks in the juices and builds a deep, rich flavour that makes the stew taste even better. 

Method

  1. 1.
    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
  2. 2.
    Add the chicken pieces and fry for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  3. 3.
    Sprinkle in turmeric, chicken spice, ginger powder, black pepper, mixed herbs and salt.
  4. 4.
    Fry everything together for another 5 minutes so the flavours mix well with the chicken.
  5. 5.
    Add the diced onion and crushed garlic. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring often.
  6. 6.
    Pour in the soy sauce and stir for about 3 minutes. Keep the heat low so the sauce doesn’t burn.
  7. 7
    Add the chopped fresh herbs – dill, mint, thyme and coriander. Stir them in.
  8. 8
    Stir in the Royco® Chicken Tikka Masala Curry Wet Cook-In Sauce, until the sauces thickens.
  9. 9
    Pour in enough water to cover the chicken, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and the stew is full of flavour.
