Kishor Paw cooked up a balti house classic in Come Dine With Me Birmingham

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 200ml natural yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
  • 1 long green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp hot chilli powder
  • A few drops red food colouring (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 900g boneless, skinless chicken breast, thickly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 8 fresh curry leaves
  • Fresh coriander, to garnish

Method: How to make chicken tikka

1. Put the yogurt in a large bowl and stir well. Add 1 tbsp of the sunflower oil, the ginger, chill, garlic, cumin, coriander and chilli powder. Mix thoroughly then add the lemon juice and salt to taste. Add a few drops of red food colouring if liked.

2. Stir the chicken into the yogurt mixture, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 8 hours.

3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and add the remaining oil. Drain the chicken in a colander to remove the excess yogurt. Put the cinnamon stick and curry leaves in the frying pan and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken and stir fry for about 10 minutes over a medium heat until cooked through and nicely browned.

4. Spoon the chicken into a warmed dish and garnish with fresh coriander.
