This was one of the prison favourites and is also a regular favourite at home. I would like to dedicate this recipe to Andy. It brings back fond memories.

Chef's Tips
This is also the basis for the great Chicken Tikka Masala. I will share that one with you next! Serve the Tikka with rice, salad, naan, mint yoghurt and lemon or lime wedges. Care with the quantity of chilli you use. Yummy!!!
