Ingredients
1.5 tbsp olive oil1 onion, sliced (about 150g)1 green chilli3 garlic cloves1" piece ginger1 tsp turmeric2 tsp garam masalasalt and pepper1 tbsp brown sugar1 tbsp double-concentrated tomato puree (about 50g)0.5 can chopped tomatoes1 tsp olive oil4 chicken breasts, diced150g natural yogurta few curry leaves (optional)
Directions
Fry onion in 1.5 tbsp oil. Slice garlic, chilli and ginger and add to pan. Cook until starting to soften.

Add turmeric, garam masala and sugar and mix well. Make sure heat is not too high and keep stirring, as this mixture will be quite dry and you don't want to burn it.

Add tomato puree and mix in.

Add canned tomatoes and mix in. Simmer for a few minutes. Then transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth.

Cook chicken in 1 tsp oil until sealed all over. Add tikka masala sauce and curry leaves. Simmer until chicken is cooked through - about 10 minutes.

Stir in yogurt (this will cool the spiciness and add creaminess, so add more or less according to taste), heat through and serve.

    Very tasty and better than the oily expensive Masala sauces one buys in a jar. I added more ginger and would add less sugar next time because the onions sweetenned it. - 1/8/10
