Chicken tikka masala

Serves 4 with accompaniments

Ingredients

2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped
4 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp tikka masala curry paste
1 red pepper deseeded and cut into chunks
1 yellow pepper deseeded and cut into
chunks
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts  cut into cubes
150 ml double cream

Method
Heat the oil on a medium heat in a large non stick saucepan with a lid. Fry the onion until soft. Add the curry paste and peppers. Fry until soft, then add the cubes of chicken and fry for two minutes, stirring often to make sure the chicken is coated in the curry paste. 
Add the chopped tomatoes, the tomato purée and 200 ml of water.

Remove the lid and stir in the double cream and yoghurt and warm the curry through. Serve with mango chutney and rice.
