1 portion pre-cooked Chicken Tikka
3 tbspn yogurt
20 ml Tikka paste
40 gm creamed coconut
1 tbspn oil
1 tspn cornflour
¼ onion (100 gm prepared weight)
2 tspn ground almonds
1 tbspn tomato purée
Salt as necessary
2 tbspn passata
1 tbspn fresh coriander

Method

1
Grate the creamed coconut into a bowl and stir in about 80 ml of boiling water to dissolve the coconut (this will make coconut milk).
2
Gradually stir in the cornflour a little at a time (this will help to prevent the coconut milk and yogurt from splitting).
3
Very finely chop the onion (this is important for a smooth sauce).
4
Chop the coriander.
5
If the Tikka paste has become too dry, loosen it with a little oil and 1 tspn of water.
