Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Tikka Masala is a vibrant, creamy, and perfectly spiced dish featuring tender marinated chicken in a rich tomato-based sauce, blending traditional Indian flavors with Ramsay’s signature finesse for a restaurant-quality curry at home.

Ingredients

  • 600g boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 150g natural yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 150ml double cream or coconut milk
  • Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and cumin. Add the chicken pieces, coat well, and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the onion until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the canned tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the cream, and simmer gently for another 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
  • Use coconut cream instead of double cream to make it dairy-free.
  • Grill the marinated chicken before adding to the sauce for a smoky flavor.
  • Add chopped spinach towards the end of cooking for extra greens and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat gently over low heat to avoid curdling the cream, adding a splash of water or cream if needed.
