Chicken Tikka (Reduced fat)
Enjoy this India inspired Chicken Tikka (Reduced fat) recipe. Minimal prep, lower in calories and a delicious alternative to your weekly takeaway.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs or 600g skinless/boneless chicken thighs (£1.65)
- 1 tin of reduced fat coconut milk (£0.59)
- 3 cloves of garlic (£0.09)
- 500 g of passata (£0.32)
- 1 large onion (£0.10)
- 50 g fresh ginger (£0.45/3) = (£0.15)
- 280 g white basmati rice (£0.36)
- Bunch of fresh coriander £0.49)
Cupboard Essentials
- 3 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tsp ground coriander or dried coriander leaf
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt
Method
- Start by removing the skin and visible fat off the chicken thighs. (You can skip this step if you splashed out on the skinless/boneless). Slice into 1 inch pieces.
- Finely dice the onion and add it into a large saucepan along with the chicken and a tbsp of olive or coconut oil.
- Grate the ginger straight into your saucepan. At this stage also add the minced garlic and seasoning.
- Once the onions have turned translucent and your kitchen smells amazing, it’s time to chuck in the olive/or coconut oil and passata. Season with salt.
- Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. At this point, pop your rice on so they will be finished at the same time.
- Serve with coarsely chopped fresh coriander.
