  Can I please ask what is a Tikka paste? Are we talking about pre-made sauces available in the super-market? If yes, isn't that cheating? :)

  this question is for the chef of the recipe.....do u think that curry powder or tikka paste bought off the shelves imparts the same flavour to the dish as a ginger-garlic-other spices mix do?

  Manav - tikka paste is just the spices used to make a tikka already ground into a paste for you, not to be confused with tikka sauce in the jars that you just add to your meat to make a quick curry. You could buy each individual spice and do it yourself but Pataks make a great one and it saves a lot of hassle. Even Jamie Oliver tells you to use them in his cook books! My theory is, if there is a quicker way of doing something that still gives you the same result, why waste your time.. more time to enjoy the eating!

  Agree with Sam, Pataks is the best spice mix in the shops. It is not cheating, but very practical as you are not buying a load of spices and only using a little of each. I made this last week, the longer you marinate it, the better.

  I have just marinated the chicken to leave over night. I agree with shaz there is nothing wrong with Pataks. i use Pataks a lot not only to marinate but to make curries, i made one yesterday using a curry paste. I also sometimes make curries from scratch but when your in a hurry it is good for convenience, and in no way is a form of cheating.

  There does not seem to be an awful lot of rice to serve 4 people and as there is going to be 5 of us tonight, i am going to make the yellow pepper rice to go with the chicken with a slight variation ie will add some curry powder instead of the ginger and turmeric, i have made this rice before so know that it feeds 5

  Try cutting the cooked chicken into chunks and stuffing pitta bread with lettuce, raita and the chicken. Also great BBQ'd.

  Really quick and tasty - I'd do a little more rice perhaps but excellent for something good on the table without too much effort

  I made this last night and it was delicious. I used Greek yogurt as that was all I had and cooked more rice. I also had to substitute Garam masala for curry powder in the rice and that was yummy too. I will be making this again.

  Love this recipe. I've made it good few times now and enjoy it as much every time! Definitely more rice needed than recipe but otherwise a great healthy and very easy meal.

  I loved this and so did my mum and dad! I didn't use tikka paste but mixed the yogurt with some tikka powder seasoning. It was a really tasty, healthy meal that was a great alternative to most high fat, greasy takeaway options.

  A good dish, my 2 and 4 year old loved it. The rice needed salt but very quick and easy. Will make again.
