TIKKA CHICKY
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the Tikka paste into a bowl with 15ml of oil and seasoning. Mix to combine, pat the chicken pieces dry and toss through the Tikka mixture. Place the chicken on a tray (skin-side up) and roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
BOUNCY BASMATI
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
BEANS & SAMBAL
Place the diced cucumber and diced tomato in a bowl with the white wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Toss to coat. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the sliced green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. Toss with a drizzle of oil, season and remove from the pan on completion.
LET'S PROPOSE A TOAST
Return the pan to a medium heat. Toast the almonds for 3-5 minutes, shifting occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan, and roughly chop when cool. Combine the coconut yoghurt with ½ of the chopped coriander, add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency, and season.
TABLE SET: TICK! DINNER: TIKKA!
