Chicken Tikka Masala

Start with about 1lb chicken. We like the clean breast and you can pick your choice cut. Boil the chicken in water until its cooked.

Now brown the chicken in a pan with some butter - for best taste! Then cut into smaller pieces so the masala can seep in.

Mix the masala in plain yogurt and let it sit for few minutes. Then cook to a boil, add the chicken and let it simmer for 5mins. Serve with roti!
