Preparation steps

1.

Pat chicken dry and cut into bite-sized cubes. Peel and finely dice ginger and garlic. Halve chili peppers lengthwise, remove seeds, wash and chop.

2.

Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a frying pan. Stir-fry ginger, garlic and chilies in it for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric and garam masala and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. In a bowl, mix yogurt with half of the spice mixture. Mix in chicken and marinate in refrigerator for about 1 hour.

3.

Then remove chicken from marinade (set marinade aside), place in baking dish and bake in preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F for 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook rice in 2.5 times the amount of salted water according to package instructions for 30-35 minutes.

4.

In the meantime, halve the bell pepper, remove the seeds, wash and cut into cubes. Peel onion and chop finely. Clean zucchini, wash, quarter lengthwise, remove seeds and cut into small pieces. Clean the spring onions, wash and cut into fine rings.

5.

In a large frying pan, heat remaining ghee. Saute onion with bell bell pepper in it over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add zucchini and half of the green onions and saute for about 10 minutes, stirring. Stir in tomato paste and remaining spice mixture and saute for 3 minutes. Deglaze with broth, add chunky tomatoes with marinade set aside, salt and pepper everything and simmer until creamy in 5-7 minutes, adding a little water if needed.

6.

Remove the meat from the oven, mix into the sauce, season to taste and place on plates with the rice. Wash and shake dry cilantro, rinse lime and cut into pieces. Serve chicken tikka masala sprinkled with remaining scallion rings and cilantro, serving the lime pieces separately.
