MsMuppet's Chicken Tikka Masala (adapted from Jamie Olivers Chicken Tikka Masala)

First, you need to make a kind of semi-dry curry paste with the following (i use a pestle and mortar but i suppose you could whizz it in a little blender thingamajig too)

2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
2 tsps hot paprika
1 tsp ground ginger
1 red chilli, chopped
1 large bunch of fresh coriander
1 tbsp desiccated coconut


Spray a non-stick pan with fry light and fry:
1 large sliced onion till soft

Add some chopped chicken to the pan (I used 1 large breast for 2 portions but it's free so you choose how much you'd like).

Add the 'paste' and fry over a gently heat for about 3-4 minutes then add:
1 tin of chopped tomatoes and
approx. 1/2 cup of chicken stock


Pop a lid on it and let it cook for approx. 30mins, adding a bit more stock if neccesary. Once it's finished cooking add:
1 tbsp of red.fat creme fraiche stir and serve.

Hope you like it
