Description

A classic Indian dish simplified for the Ninja Speedi, combining tender chicken pieces with a rich, aromatic tomato-based curry sauce. This one-pot wonder delivers authentic flavours without the traditional long marination time.

This recipe employs the unique dual-cooking zones of the Ninja Speedi, allowing the curry sauce to develop in the bottom while the chicken cooks to perfection in the crisping tray above. The result is perfectly cooked chicken with a slightly charred exterior and a creamy, flavourful sauce.

Note

Tips: For extra flavour, marinate chicken for up to 4 hours. Confirm chicken pieces are similar in size for even cooking. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or chicken stock. For a more authentic taste, toast and grind your own spices. Leftover sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months. Always bring cream to room temperature before adding to prevent curdling.
