Notes
- To add a little extra texture and flavour to this curry, you can add a sprinkle of ground almonds or desiccated coconut.
- For a more indulgent prawn tikka masala, swap the coconut milk for single or double cream.
- You can use this curry sauce base to make chicken tikka masala too.
- Make sure you are using fresh spices. If you spices have been open for longer than 6 months, then they won't have much flavour and you won't get the best tasting chicken tikka curry.
- Adding some cooked lentils to the curry is a great way to bulk it out.
