Chicken Tikka Chasni

Chicken Tikka Chasni is a curry originating from Scotland, famed for its garish red appearence.

It’s normally a sweet and mild dish, akin to a Chicken Tikka Masala but can be made to whatever spice level you require. I make this with ‘Ome Made More Than Madras Masala for a little extra heat. However, you could use a basic mix powder or curry powder for the more traditional mild version.

This recipe uses a hybrid curry gravy, which is a mixture of base gravy and hotel gravy styles. It gives you the Indian restaurant/takeaway flavour but is so much easier to cook larger portions with and it’s not as messy as cooking with base gravy.

Remember all the masalas you need for this chicken tikka chasni are available at www.omemade.co.uk.

I hope you enjoy making this curry and remember to share the photos of it on social media, including the Facebook groups ‘The Curry Secret’, ‘UK Curry Group’ and of course the ‘Ome Made group.

‘Ome

The Chasni dish, often flaunting a vibrant red hue thanks to a dash of food coloring, hails from Scotland. It's the culinary cousin of Chicken Tikka Masala, known for its sweet and gentle flavor, though it can be spiced up to match your fiery desires.
