Ingredients

  1. Marinade:
  2. 1 cup plain yogurt, whisked until smooth
  3. 3 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows (or 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and 3 cloves garlic put through a garlic press or finely minced)
  4. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, poked with a fork, and cut into large bite-sized chunks
  7. Oil, for grilling
  8. 1 jar Patak’s® Tikka Masala Sauce
  9. Minced fresh cilantro, for garnish
  10. Cooked rice, naan, or crusty piece of bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. For the marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator up to overnight.
  2. When you’re ready to make the curry, warm the sauce in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Meanwhile, fire up your grill. When it is nice and hot, lightly brush it with oil. Place the chicken on the grill, shaking off some of the excess marinade. Cook until it’s charred, about 2 minutes on each side. (Don’t worry that the chicken will still be a little uncooked, it finishes cooking in the sauce).
  4. When chicken is ready, bring sauce to a boil. Add the chicken, take the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Garnish with minced fresh cilantro, and serve over rice, with naan, or a crusty piece of bread!

This was fantastic! Easy and very tasty. At first I was surprised to see a reference to a prepared product but I felt that if Aarti would like it we would too! Luckily the product was available at my local grocery store. The flavor and texture of the sauce was delicious. I served it with prepared herbed basmati rice. My teens now beg for Tikka Tuesday — Thanks Aarti and Patak!
