Presentation
- Ideal side dish: Serve the Chickpea Tikka Masala on a portion of basmati rice in a deep dish or bowl. Put a tablespoon of natural yogurt on top of the chickpeas and sprinkle on fresh chopped coriander for decoration.
- Perfect accompaniment: Serve this dish with freshly baked naan bread or flatbread to enjoy the sauce and clean the plate.
General Tips:
- Spice Adjustment: Customise the amount of spices you want, increasing or decreasing the amount of tikka masala (chicken masala).
- Consistency of the Sauce: If the sauce is very thick, add a little bit of hot water. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook for a bit longer on a low flame so that the liquid evaporates.
