HAIRY BIKERS' CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Make this easy and much loved curry often and you'll be everyone's favourite chef! 
By Hairy Bikers

 

• Rating: 
• Serves: 4
• Cook Time: 40 minutes 
• Prep Time: 20 minutes plus at least 4 hours marinating time
• Effort: medium

 
 
 
• 246

INGREDIENTS

For the chicken:

• 2 tbsp cumin seeds
• 2 tbsp coriander seeds
• 2 cloves
• 1 tsp black peppercorns
• a small piece of cinnamon sticks
• ½ tsp ground fenugreek seeds
• 1½ tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tsp ground paprika
• 1 tsp hot chilli powder
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 20 g fresh root ginger, grated
• 4 tbsp plain natural yogurt
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
• sunflower oil, for greasing

For the masala sauce:

• 4 tbsp ghee, or 2 tbsp softened butter and 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 3 medium onions, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 25 g fresh root ginger, finely grated
• ½ tsp ground turmeric
• 3 tbsp tomato purée
• 2 tsp caster sugar
• 2 tbsp double cream

 

METHOD

1. For the chicken: Put the cumin and coriander seeds, cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick in a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Cook for 12 minutes, stirring regularly until lightly toasted you know theyre ready when you can smell the wonderful spicy aroma. Tip everything into a pestle and mortar or electric spice grinder. Add the fenugreek, turmeric, paprika, chilli powder and a teaspoon of salt and grind everything to a fine powder. 

2. Spoon 3 tablespoons of this spice mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the garlic, ginger and yoghurt. Stir the chicken pieces into the spiced yoghurt, cover with cling film and put them in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. Set the remaining spice to one side. 

3. For the masala sauce: Heat the ghee (or butter and oil) in a large non-stick saucepan and add the onions, garlic and ginger. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly and stir in the rest of the powdered spices, plus the turmeric. Fry for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. 

4. Stir in the tomato purée, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt and fry for 23 minutes, stirring constantly. Add 400ml cold water, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes more, adding the cream for the last 30 seconds of the cooking time. Remove from the heat and blitz with a stick blender or in a food processor until you have a sauce thats as smooth as possible. Pour this into a heatproof bowl, cover with cling film, cool and chill until youre ready to cook the chicken. 

5. Thread the chicken pieces on to lightly greased, long metal skewers. You should be able to fit about 6 chunks of chicken on to each skewer, leaving 12cm between each piece. Preheat the grill to its hottest setting and place the skewers on a rack over a grill pan lined with foil. Slide the pan on to a shelf, putting it as close as possible to the heat, and cook the chicken for 5 minutes. Turn each skewer, holding it with an oven cloth, and cook on the other side for another 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. 

6. While the chicken is grilling, tip the masala sauce into a large non-stick frying pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 23 minutes, stirring regularly. Take the chicken skewers from under the grill and slide a fork down the length of each skewer to plop the pieces into the hot sauce. Stir well and bubble for a few seconds more. Serve hot with rice. 

JAMIE'S GREAT BRITAIN

Jamie Oliver travels across Great Britain to find out what makes British food great. From East London to South Wales, Scotland to Somerset and all that's in between, join Jamie as he cooks classic dishes with a twist. On the search for new ideas and inspiration for recipes, Jamie discovers that many of the dishes we think of as British classics aren't 'British' at all, but full of influences from around the world through invasion, exploration, colonisation and immigration. Over six programmes, Jamie visits Yorkshire, The Heart of England, Essex and East London, Bristol and Somerset, South Wales and Scotland, and cooks delicious classic dishes with a twist, combining the traditional with the new including apple pepper pot pudding, tandoori roast chicken with Bombay roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with trout and horseradish pate.

How to Make a Heatable Owl Softie

Nothing is cosier of an evening than cuddling an owl. Don’t believe me? Read on to find out for yourself how easy it is to make your own heatable and huggable softie, which also make great Christmas presents…

How to Make a Heatable Owl Softie

Skill Level : Intermediate

Time to Make : Three to three and a half hours

You Will Need

• Scissors
• Lavender flowers
• Fat quarters
• Toy stuffing
• Pins
• Chalk (or something to mark the fabric)
• Owl sewing pattern
• Scraps of fabric or buttons (for the face)
• Coffee! (optional)

Download the Pattern

Download owl sewing pattern »

How to Make:

1. Start by picking out some fun fabric and then iron it.

2. Download and print out the very special owl pattern.

Top Tip!...

Print with the setting “Actual size” ticked or your friend will end up with bits missing.

3. Fold one of the fat quarters in half, place the pattern on the fold and pin.

4. Cut around the pattern and then repeat with another fat quarter to make the front and back pieces.

5. Cut out the wing piece from the body pattern, pin on to the fabric and cut out two pieces. Turn the pattern over and cut out another piece to make three.

6. Pin the reversed wing to one of the other two, right sides together and sew around the edge. Leave a small gap of about an inch so that you can fill it with stuffing.

7. Once you have sewn the wing, turn it right side out. Take a handful of stuffing and fill the wing so that it is firm but not rigid, otherwise our owl won’t be able to fly.

8. Next take the left over wing and match the edges of the owls side to the curve. Once you are happy with the alignment, sew along the one edge with a narrow seam allowance (approximately a quarter of an inch).

Top Tip!...

You can do this from the right side or the wrong side; the stiches will be hidden in the seam we make later.

9. Take the pieces you are using to make the face, I have chosen two large circles of white fabric and a triangle of yellow. Place the pieces on the right side of the owl front and decide how they should be arranged.

I have chosen to sew the face pieces on with my sewing machine, if you have too then read on. If not, you can use a glue gun or sew buttons – be creative!

10. Once you are happy with your chum’s visage, sew the eyes to the right side of the front using a medium length, wide zig-zag stitch.

11. After you have sewn both eyes, place the beak and do the same stitch to attach.

12. I have used black buttons for pupils and machine sewed them on with yellow thread.

13. Hopefully our new friend is starting to take shape! Pin the right sides of the front and back pieces together. Put the stuffed wing inside the owl, on the side opposite to the attached wing. Don’t forget to leave a gap in the bum for turning right side out.

Top Tip!. . . 

I use two pins to show where I need to start and stop sewing.

14. Stitch all around the outside edge with a straight stitch, I have used a half inch seam allowance.

15. Once you’re done sewing, turn the owl right side out.

16. Isn’t it pretty? Shame it’s so flat.
Grab a handful of stuffing and (without looking into the eyes) proceed to stuff the owl.

Top Tip!...

I used a knitting needle to work the stuffing into the areas I needed it to go. Patience is the key.

That’s the nasty bit over with. Now you can sew the gap (bum) shut.

17. For the lavender pouch, I’ve used an off cut of the wing fabric. Take two pieces and cut out a shape or a rectangle if you’re not feeling too fancy after the last step.

18. I’ve chosen to trace a heart, cut out the pieces and pin with right sides together. Sew around the edge, leaving a gap for the lavender.

19. Turn the pouch right side out and fill with lavender.

Top Tip!... 

I didn’t have a funnel so I rolled up a piece of paper.

20. When you have filled your pouch, sew the gap closed. I have used a zig-zag stitch around the outside edge for added interest.

21. Ta-da! You have a new friend complete with calming lavender! The evenings will fly by and they are guaranteed to be a hoot.
