On the plate

What comes with the Chicken Tikka Masala

  1. 01

    Marinated chicken

    Tender pieces of marinated chicken give the curry its main substance, coated in the rich, mildly spiced sauce.

  2. 02

    Creamy tomato sauce

    Tomato, cream and aromatic spices create a velvety sauce with balanced sweet and earthy flavours rather than strong heat.

  3. 03

    Pilau rice

    Fluffy pilau rice accompanies the curry, giving you a base for the chicken and its creamy tomato sauce.

  4. 04

    Naan bread

    Warm, soft naan bread comes alongside the rice and is useful for mopping up the remaining curry sauce.

The dish

What the Chicken Tikka Masala is like

Chicken tikka masala is a mild, creamy curry with a sweet and earthy flavour balance. The tomato-based sauce is enriched with cream, giving it a velvety texture around the tender marinated chicken. Aromatic spices provide flavour without making heat the main attraction. It suits someone looking for a rich curry rather than a strongly spiced meal.

Served hot with fluffy pilau rice and warm, soft naan, the plate offers different textures without moving away from that gentle flavour profile. Spoon the sauce over the rice, then use the naan to mop up what remains. Creaminess is the defining feature, with tomato and spices keeping the flavour balanced.
