Chicken tikka- done in the slow cooker, full of indian spice, if you have tried my butter chicken recipe you will like this too!

You can use as a marinade for your chicken and bbq or roast or use as I have done as a curry. Why not make your taste buds dance
Thank you, come again!

I served this with millet. Millet is gluten free and is technically a seed. Millet is a good source of the minerals copper, phosphorus, manganese, and magnesium. Millet is thought to have originated in North Africa, specifically in Ethiopia, where it has been consumed since prehistoric times. There is even mention of millet in the Bible as an ingredient for unleavened bread. Millet is still an extremely important food staple in many Africa countries.




Tikka masala paste

2 teaspoons garam masala

½ teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons tomato purée

Small bunch of fresh coriander

1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

2 tablespoons ground almonds

Optional 1-2 red chillies

Spices for toasting: These are dry fried in a small pan for about a minute until fragrant

1 teaspoon cumin seeds / 1 teaspoon coriander seeds

Method

Blitz up until a smooth paste forms.


This can be used as a marinade enough for about 1 kg of meat such as chicken. I have used this as a curry and added 600g chicken thigh, 1 diced onion, 700ml of tomato passata and added a chunky dice of 1 large eggplant and 2 parsnips. You can use any veg you want such as sweet potato, zucchini, capsicum etc…put in your slow cooker for the day. I did have cream to use so I added that too, but you dont have to!
