Anjali’s 'ta-da' tikka traybake recipe

173 ratings

As the granddaughter of Patak’s founder, Anjali grew up surrounded by the smell of aromatic spices and authentic Indian flavours. Even now, as a chef herself, she is happiest when her own kitchen is full of good friends enjoying good food. Tonight, a last-minute change of plan means she’s hosting, so she needs a dish with maximum flavour yet minimum fuss. Anjali turns to her chicken tikka traybake, a fresh, modern take on a family favourite. She simply coats chicken and veg in Patak’s iconic Tikka Masala Spice Paste and in it goes to roast. Leaving her plenty of time to catch up with friends while the fragrant smells of her childhood fill the room. See method

Method

155x255 PATAKS TALENT

  1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Place the peppers, carrots, potatoes, broccoli and chicken thighs in a large, shallow roasting tray. 
  2. Add the spice paste and 5 tbsp of yogurt, then toss the veg and chicken to fully coat. Remove the broccoli and set aside.
  3. Make sure the chicken thighs are sitting on top of the veg, then roast for 45 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is tender. Add the broccoli to the tray for the final 15 mins of cooking, giving everything a toss as well.
  4. Just before serving, make the raita by combining the yogurt, onion, tomato, coriander and cucumber in a bowl with a little seasoning. Top with the pomegranate seeds, if using.
  5. Remove the tray from the oven and scatter over the red chilli (if using) and coriander. Serve the chicken and veg with the raita and lime pickle, alongside warmed naans, if you like.

Little Help

Store traybake leftovers in a sealed container, in the fridge, for up to three days. To reheat, warm through until piping hot. Serve with the raita, if you have some leftover, or a dollop of natural yoghurt works well too.
