Chicken tikka is a popular Indian dish made from marinated pieces of boneless chicken that are typically skewered and grilled.Â
Want to pump up the heat? Increase the green chilli to two for an extra hit of spice. Or, omit completely for a less spicy, more family-friendly option.

Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced (180°C conventional). Line an oven tray with baking paper, arrange tomatoes on tray and drizzle with half of the oil. Roast for 15 minutes until almost collapsed.
Meanwhile, for Garlic rice, melt butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring for 1-2 minutes. Stir in rice and water. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large deep frying pan on high heat. Cook chicken, in batches, until browned all over. Remove from pan and put on a plate.
Add onion and capsicum to same pan, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add curry paste and chilli to pan, cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Return chicken to pan with cream and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cook for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.
