Chicken Tikka Masala

Rezept
Huhn
Indien

First grill the chicken and then serve it in a deliciously buttery curry sauce - it doesn't get much better than this!

For the chicken

Ingredients (4 servings)
6 Chicken drumsticks, trimmed
6 tablespoon(s) Tikka spice paste (supermarket, Asian store)
400 g Greek. Yogurt, 10 %
2 tablespoon(s) Ginger, grated
3 Garlic cloves, grated
Juice and zest of half a lemon
Salt

For the sauce

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 tablespoon(s) Coriander seeds
1 teaspoon(s) Fennel seeds
1 teaspoon(s) Cumin seeds, whole
250 g Butter
3 tablespoon(s) Ginger, finely chopped
4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoon(s) Garam masala
800 g Tinned tomatoes
Salt
Cayenne to taste

To garnish

Ingredients (4 servings)
Toasted flaked almonds
Coriander
5 cm Ginger, cut à la julienne
  • Divide the chicken drumsticks into 3 pieces and season with salt. Stir the remaining ingredients into a marinade and marinate the chicken in it for approx. 90 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the sauce, toast the coriander, fennel and cumin in a pan without oil until fragrant and the seeds pop in the pan. Reduce the heat, add the butter, slowly fry the ginger, garlic and onion until golden brown, season with garam masala and deglaze with the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and simmer over a medium heat for 35 minutes.
  • Season to taste, blend until smooth, adding the remaining butter. Let the grill get really hot. Remove most of the marinade from the chicken pieces (add this to the sauce and bring to the boil again), thread onto skewers and grill until they have taken on a lot of color - a little charred is good in this case! They do not need to be cooked all the way through, as they will now finish cooking in the sauce at a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with flaked almonds, ginger and coriander and serve with basmati rice and/or naan.
