Method of Preparation

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Heat the oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the tandoori chicken tikka pieces and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly seared and heated through.

Step 2: Add the Sauce

Pour in the Sunbay Tikka Masala Sauce and mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 3: Adjust the Consistency

Add the water and stir until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4: Simmer

Cook on low to medium heat for 4–5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the rich tikka masala flavors.

Step 5: Finish the Gravy

Stir in the fresh cream and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and glossy.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Season with salt to taste. Finish with crushed kasuri methi and freshly chopped coriander. Mix gently and serve hot.

Chef's Tips

• Use freshly grilled or charcoal-smoked chicken tikka for authentic tandoori flavor.

• Avoid boiling the gravy after adding cream to maintain a silky texture.
