To make chicken tikka masala, you don’t skewer the chicken, you simmer the pieces in masala-flavoured sauce

If you want to spice up your cooking, making tikka masala will certainly send you down that aromatic road. It’s a dish that combines Indian-style flavours with British/western-style food preferences.

To make it, large prawns were peeled, deveined and patted dry. The shells from the prawns were simmered in water, and then the mixture was strained, creating a simple prawn stock. The tikka masala sauce for the prawns was made by sautéing diced onions in the skillet until golden. Some of the same spice mixture you seasoned the prawns with, along with some fresh ginger, garlic and tomato paste, were mixed into the onions. Tomato sauce and the prawn stock were then mixed into that mixture creating a sauce that was simmered a short while, melding all the different flavours together.

Pour the water into the pot with the prawn shells, set over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat as needed to maintain that gentle simmer. Simmer shells 20 minutes, and then strain this prawn-flavoured stock into a glass-measuring cup. You should have 2/3 cup, but if you don’t, add a bit more water until you do .
