- Quick & Easy
- Cook: 20 mins
A quick and easy twist on a tandoori-style curry from the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh in India. The spices in this dish balance perfectly with the flavours of our Lime & Coriander rice. For a delicious vegetarian alternative, replace chicken with paneer, cut into cubes.
Tildalicious tip: yoghurt is a great ingredient for tenderising meat before cooking.
