Tandoori Murgh Tikka Masala
Safira
Tandoori Murgh Tikka Masala is a dish my mum made when I was last visiting and I knew it would make it's way to the blog soon after. In this recipe skinless boneless chicken breast is boiled and then added to a rich, luxurious and flavourful Curry sauce. It is delicious and perfect served with Jeera Rice or Naan.

The BEST side is always Basmati rice, Jeera Rice, Naan or Roti.
Other sides:
Onion Raita
Chicken And Water
You don't need to add much water because the Chicken will also release water. You can add a little more if you want to.
Salt
When adding salt to the Curry base, add less then you usually would because you have already added a little salt to the chicken when boiling.
