I make mine in a similar way to the recipe posted above and my flatmates love it

I fry diced chicken breast and onion in oil, then add tikka powder (you can get it from tesco) and cook for a few minutes before adding a small tub of greek yoghurt, juice of half a lemon or lime, and diced pepper and courgette to bulk it out and make it more healthy

add some cream towards the end, then some ground cumin/chilli powder/pepper for extra kick if needed and serve with rice

Not sure this is the right place to ask, unless you're growing the ingredients before they get home?

Chicken Tikka is the dry version, chicken marinaded for a fair while and cooked in the oven. He/she probably means Chicken Tikka Massala, which is the said meat in a creamy tomato sauce - don't think it generally has coconut or coconut milk, probably yoghurt or cream and ground almonds.

A google search should bring up a decent recipe, and if marinading the meat seems like too much hassle, just add chopped up cooked plain chicken to the sauce - an unforgivable short cut that several Indian restaurants seem to think is OK!

You're on the "Greenfingered" board. Gardening and stuff rather than making curry!
