Low Fat Butter Chickentikka Masala Recipes

SKINNY CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until golden.
• Add the crushed ginger, stir for a few minutes then add the garlic and cook another minute. Add cumin, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and salt; mix well until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, yogurt and milk. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Add chicken and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes or until cooked through.
• Add a generous amount of chopped cilantro and serve with Bamati Rice or Naan.

LOW FAT CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a balti pan or frying pan over medium high heat. When hot, add the garlic and ginger paste and allow to sizzle for about 30 seconds. Then add the ground almonds and fry for a further 20 seconds while stirring constantly. The pan will look quite dry as the almonds soak up the oil. Add the rest of the spices, stir and then add the tomato purée and the base sauce.
• Turn the heat up to high and allow the sauce to come to a rolling simmer. Stir in the tandoori chicken and cook for a further few minutes until the meat is heated through. If using raw chicken, it will need about five minutes simmering in the sauce to cook through.
• Once the meat is heated/cooked through, lower the heat to medium-high and stir in the yoghurt one tablespoon at a time. If using food colouring, stir it in and then squeeze in the lemon juice and add the chopped coriander.
• To finish, add the methi leaves by rubbing them between your fingers. This helps bring out their flavour. Top with the garam masala and season with salt to taste.
