Serves 4

Cooking time: 35 mins

What You’ll Need: 

  • 30 ml sunflower oil
  • 250g onions, chopped
  • 45 – 75ml Tikka Masala paste (to taste)
  • 600g skinless chicken breasts cut into 2.5cm cubes
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 30ml tomato purée
  • 15ml mango chutney
  • 100ml water
  • 250g The Lake District Dairy Co. Quark
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Chopped fresh coriander leaves, to serve

What To Do: 

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onions and cook over a medium heat for 15-20 mins until soft and golden
  • Stir in the curry paste, then cook for 5 mins more to develop the flavours
  • Now stir in the chicken to coat with the curried onions. Cook for 2 mins, then stir in the tomatoes, tomato purée, chutney and 100ml water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, half-cover and simmer gently for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked
  • Once cooked, uncover, stir in The Lake District Dairy Co. Quark and then gently warm through without boiling
  • Taste and season if necessary. Scatter with coriander leaves and serve with basmati rice and naan bread
