Tikka Masala

The curry house classic, ready in 30 minutes! Ask three people where Tikka Masala comes from and you will get four answers. India claims it. Glasgow claims it. The argument has outlasted everyone involved. What nobody disputes is why it stuck around: a tomato-based 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 protein, yogurt, crushed tomato, fresh veg, and heavy cream. The packet does the rest! About the packet: 30 minute recipe, serves 4! Recipe from Chef Meherwan Irani, printed on the packet. Pairs well with basmati rice, naan, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.
