One packet. One recipe. A full meal for four in 30 minutes.

The curry house classic, made easy for your kitchen! You'll make a simple Tikka Masala sauce that runs brighter and tangier than butter chicken, with more spice up front and a warmth that builds instead of shouting. Everything the sauce needs is measured into this packet, and Meherwan's recipe walks you through the rest from the back of the pack. Thirty minutes after you open it, four people are eating. That math holds up on a Wednesday. 

You bring the chicken, yogurt, crushed tomato, fresh veg, and heavy cream. The packet does the rest!

  • Recipe from Chef Meherwan Irani, printed on the packet.
  • Pairs well with basmati rice, naan, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables
  • Part of a set with Butter Chicken and Saag Paneer. Collect all three and retire your delivery app for the week!
  • Choosing between this and Butter Chicken? Tikka Masala is the tangier, more spice-forward of the two. Butter Chicken runs sweeter and richer. There is no wrong answer, only a second order.

Flavour Profile

Brighter and tangier than its butter chicken sibling. Tomato and citric acid give it a front-of-tongue zip; cumin and ginger carry the middle, and cayenne builds a warmth that arrives a few bites in rather than all at once.

The yogurt marinade keeps the chicken tender and adds its own quiet tang! Fresh cilantro in the blend ties it to the garnish on top.

Ingredients

Tomato powder (tomato, silica), garlic, salt, onion, cumin, sugar, turmeric, ginger, green cardamom, bamboo fiber (anti-caking), cilantro, black pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, citric acid

Allergens

The recipe as written includes dairy (yogurt and heavy cream).

Marinate the chicken: 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces · 2 tsp Tikka Masala Blend · 1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt · 1 tsp vegetable or avocado oil · Kosher salt

Combine chicken, Tikka Masala Blend, yogurt, oil, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
