Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Cook the quinoa

  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins
  • Roughly chop the raisins, then add to the saucepan in the final minute. Drain together

Simmer the curry

  • Meanwhile, heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins, until golden
  • Add the tikka masala curry sauce, tomatoes and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) and simmer for another 15 mins, until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper

Make the chana chaat salad

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pick the mint leaves from the stalks, then roughly chop. Dice the cucumber into 1cm chunks
  • In the medium bowl, combine the mint, chickpeas, cucumber, juice from the lime, cooked quinoa, raisins and 1/2 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the chicken tikka between bowls, with the chana chaat salad alongside
