Chicken Tikka Masala

Slice the chicken breast into goujons. Finely peel and chop the brown onion. Boil the measured water and dissolve the chicken stock cube and tomato paste in it.

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium-low heat with the ghee. Once hot, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt. Fry for 7-8 min until softened. Once softened, add the chicken, ginger garlic paste, smoked paprika, curry powder, garam masala and chipotle powder (spicy!). Fry for 2 min. Add the stock and simmer for 10 min.

Meanwhile, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add the rice and measured water to a pan with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cook with the lid on for 10-12 min or until all the water is absorbed. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Keep covered until serving. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Meanwhile, chop the cucumber into small chunks. Finely chop the coriander. Slice the lime into wedges. Mix the cucumber and coriander together in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Add a squeeze of lime juice.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the cooking cream and honey to the pan. Simmer for a final 5 min. 

Serve the chicken curry over the basmati rice with the cucumber salad to the side. Serve any remaining lime wedges as a garnish.
