About This Recipe
Invented in the UK to satisfy British people who wanted a gravy with their spiced chicken, is the undisputed number one curry here but its fame has spread around the world with Tom Cruise being a particular fan.
We use our Brilliant Base Asian Paste massaged into boneless and skinless chicken thighs, then add tomato notes thanks to the addition of our Tomato Fondue base and spice up the masala sauce with our Indian Gravy.
Double cream is used for indulgence and the secret here is to let the chicken thighs grill out first, before braising in the sauce in the oven. From a nutritional point of view, the use of three of our Brilliant Bases here means it’s bursting with flavour, vitamins and minerals, while being high in protein thanks to the chicken.
