Cooking Instructions and Tips

Garlic Time
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the naans.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Fry the Chicken
2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

c) Fry until golden brown, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Curry Up
3

a) Add the garlic, North Indian style spice mix and tomato puree to the chicken. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.

b) Add the chicken stock paste, creme fraiche, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine.

c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Bake your Naans
4

a) Meanwhile, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

b) Once the curry has thickened, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.

c) Spoon the curry onto each naan, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until golden and toasted, 4-5 mins. 

Dress the Salad
5

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.

b) In a medium bowl, add the tomato chunks and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.

c) Just before you're ready to serve, add the baby gem to the tomatoes and toss to coat.

Serve Up
6

a) When baked, transfer your butter chicken naans to your plates.

b) Serve with the salad alongside.
