Ingredients
  

  • 400 g passata
  • 1 kg chicken thighs bones removed
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup thickened cream
  • 2 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 190C.
  • Add all of the ingredients except for the chicken to a deep baking tray and mix well to combine.
  • Add the chicken to the tray and ensure it gets evenly coated in the sauce.
  • Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Half way through take it out and mix around the chicken to ensure it gets covered in plenty of sauce.
  • Serve with basmati rice and some fresh coriander and enjoy.

Notes

  • Even Coating: Ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce before baking to maximise flavour and ensure every bite is delicious.
  • Mid-Bake Stir: Stirring the chicken halfway through baking ensures it remains juicy, well-coated with sauce, and prevents drying out.
