Chicken tikka masala

Here’s the 5th video in the Science of cooking Series with Rennie, this is my insanely good, chicken tikka masala. A quintessential British favourite and one that shouldn’t need a phone call to the local takeaway. It’s so easy to make this yourself, I’ve used simple yet punchy ingredients to recreate a version of this dish. 

 

Give it a try!
