Fry the marinated chicken for 7-10 minutes.
-
Flip every 2 minutes. ( watch the video below for perfection )
-
After 8 minutes transfer to a plate and keep aside.
STEP 3
-
Use a mesh grill OR an oil pot strainer over the gas hob. This method gives a nice smoke flavour to the curry which is something special for this chicken tikka masala. OR use a skewer to attach chicken pieces and smoke over the gas hob for 1-2 minutes and then separate the chicken from the skewer.
-
Fried chicken pieces smoke for 1-2 minutes. ( watch the video below, for better understanding of this step)
-
Flip every 30 seconds.
-
Smoked chicken keep aside.

Heat a pan and add the oil. Maintain medium to high flame.

Once it is golden brown add tomatoes chopped. Stir again another 3 minutes until it is soft.

**Here I added 150-200ml of fresh cream for extra taste. However, if require you can reduce the amount of fresh cream to 50-100ml without compromising the taste.
**This curry can serve to 3-6 people depending on the quantity of chicken and fresh cream used.
** Always watch the video below before cooking for perfection.
