Instructions

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pop a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat. Melt in the butter (see pantry for amount).

When the butter has melted, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min. Stir in the rice until coated, 1 min.

Add 1/4 tsp salt and the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Once the chicken is browned, add the tikka masala paste, tomato puree and tandoori masala mix to the chicken. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

When fragrant, stir in the chicken stock paste, honey and water for the curry (see pantry for both amounts).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
