Method

  1. Mix together the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, curry powder, coriander and paprika.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 2-3 minutes, or until soft. Add the spices and fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken and red pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned.
  3. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the tikka masala from the heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then stir in the soured cream.
  5. Meanwhile, to make the coconut rice, cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Pour the coconut milk into a separate saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer until reduced by half. Stir the cooked rice into the reduced coconut milk.
  6. To serve, simply spoon the chicken tikka masala over the coconut rice.
