Paleo Chicken Tikka Curry

Paleo Chicken Tikka Curry

As you all know by now, I adore cooking. For me it is pure escapism and I love nothing more than throwing anything I have in my store cupboard together and creating something delicious. I mean, that’s not to say that I never have any disasters… just ask my husband about the Paleo red velvet cake I once attempted!

For Christmas Ports bought me a set of gorgeous Kilner spice jars. I absolutely adore them, especially how beautiful ordered they have made my kitchen shelves look! Goodbye boring boxes of spices! In fact, I love them so much I bought myself another two dozen so that I would start creating some of my own spice mixes.

Herbs and spices are amazing, they are full of so many healing, antibacterial and antiviral properties and some also contain more disease-fighting antioxidants than fruits and vegetables. The best thing about them is that there’s no nasty additives or extra sugars in them so you can well and truly create beautiful, vibrant, authentic dishes without the worry that you are pumping your body with a nasty dose of sugars and stabilisers. So, with the aid of some other delicious organic ingredients I have created my very own version of chicken Tikka curry and I can safely say this is one of my favourite recipes yet! It’s packed with flavour, rich, creamy and incredibly moreish. I served it with Paleo Indian style flat cumin breads for which I will share the recipe very soon.
