Delicately spiced and enriched with almonds, this luxurious dish is bound to impress. This dish is from the Moghul dynasty that started off its life as a type of kebab. The Pasanda is a rich curry that favours dark meats and starchy veg. The perfect dish for Spring as you can tweak it to be creamy and filling for those chillier days or tangy and savoury for the warmer weather. A hit with children and adults alike, it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. Traditionally finished with cream but you could use yoghurt for a fresher taste.  

A national treasure! Our recipe creates a rich sauce with coconut and tomatoes, balanced with a special mix of aromatic spices and ajwain seeds. Origin of the name: Tikka means small pieces and masala means blend of spices. Generally cubed pieces of chicken or lamb are first cooked in a 'tandoor' clay oven and then served with a rich creamy, aromatic sauce.
