Directions
Gordon Ramsay’s Tikka Masala, I saw the famously foul-mouthed chef do this on a live TV cook-a-long Its an easy curry to prepare, and big on flavour , This in not the original recipe by GR so some tips as I have cooked it loads of times When cooking the onions, sweat with lid on pan as apposed to fry Do the same when you add chilli and garlic This will create a bit of moisture so when adding spices, you can cook them a bit longer to release the flavours The original recipe also called for a rice dish which compliments the curry 400 grams Basmati rice (Can use long grain, but better with basmati due to the nutty flavour) 600 ml cold water 1 star anise 4-5 cardamon pods crushed Rinse rice until water runs clear Add to a pan with tight filling lid, along with star anise and pods Cover and cook on small burner with low to medium low heat Do not remove lid at all during cooking For 10 minutes exactly Once cooked, remove from burner let sit for 10 minutes, again do not remove lid Fluff to liking Also any tomato based recipe tastes better the longer it is cooked, so befor blending, let rest off heat to cool about 10 minutes before blending I would also recommend using skinless, boneless thighs instead of breasts If using breasts, cook until just cooked, remove from pan, set aside and re-heat sauce first, then add chicken back This prevents the breasts from drying out It should also be noted, this is not an authentic, so to speak tikka masala, but rather a quicker version It is PACKED full of flavours if cooked corrrectly and there should be absolutely no need to add salt if you need to add salt, you have not cooked it correctly Hope that helps some , I have made this loads of times and it is a quick easy version of tikka masala Jessica you obviously didnt cook the spices long enough to release the flavouring As for salt and pepper, that should be down to personal taste and it sounds like you cooked the chicken to long I personally use boneless thighs as I think they have a better flavour It is also great after Xmas with left over Turkey
