Quick-win chicken tikka masala
A pouch of deliciously spiced sauce and ready-diced chicken breast make light work of this crowd-pleasing curry. Just fry chopped onions, red peppers and baby toms with the chicken, sprinkle in some cumin, then simmer with the sauce. A swirl of Greek yogurt gives it that silky-smooth masala finish we all know and love. Served with basmati rice.

Cooking Instructions
Before you start
