Chicken tikka masala
We are going to be making Homemade chicken tikka masala from scratch.
All your cooking skills have come on so well I think we are ready for this one
we are just going to serve our curry with boiled rice and some poppadoms (Lidl do some great ones).
We will be using the hob a little at the end of cooking to warm the curry paste through. It will be over a low to medium heat so just be extra care full with the younger children for this part.
the chicken will be marinated in yoghurt and curry spices and baked in the oven the children will have great fun doing this part and it will be a great skill to learn, one they will have for life.
