step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with tin foil.
step 2
First, make the marinated chicken. Mix the garlic (3 cloves), ginger (1 piece), chilli powder (1 tsp), garam masala (2 tsp), lime juice (1/2) and yogurt (150 ml) in a non-metallic bowl, then add the chicken (2 packs) and season well. Mix thoroughly, cover and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
step 3
Place the marinated chicken onto the lined baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 and cook for 5 more minutes.
step 4
Add the onions (2), cumin seeds (1 tsp), garlic (3 cloves), ground coriander (1 tsp), ground cumin (1 tsp), chilli powder (1 tsp), fenugreek (1 tsp) and garam masala (1 tsp). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, adding a splash of chicken stock (100 ml) if the mix becomes too dry.
step 5
Stir in the green chilli (1) and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the passata (300 ml). Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and turned a deep brown-red colour, then stir in the coriander (2 tbsp) and yogurt (2 tbsp).
step 6
When the chicken is cooked, tip it into the sauce along with any juices, using the foil to guide it into the pan.
step 7
Add the double cream (4 tbsp) and butter (50 g), season to taste and cook for a final 5 minutes, adding any remaining chicken stock.
step 8
Heat the roti (2 packs) according to the packet instructions. Brush with the butter (25 g) and sprinkle over half the coriander (1/2 handful).
step 9
Divide the tikka masala between serving dishes and serve each with a roti. Top the tikka masala with the coriander (1/2 handful), red chilli (1), ginger (1 piece) and double cream (4 tbsp).
