No Chicken Tikka Masala
Servings: 4
This beloved classic has been given af vegetarian boost in this version without meat, which we have prepared with our No Chicken. As always, we have spiced things up to create a dish that is spicy and strong without burning.
You can decide whether you want to make a vegetarian version, where you simply replace chicken breast with No Chicken plant bites, but still use Greek yoghurt and cream, or you prefer making a 100% plant-based dish, where you use vegan alternatives.

Instructions
Marinade
Prepare No Chicken according to instructions on the bag, but do not fry it.
Put Greek yoghurt in a bowl. Add ginger, garlic, garam masala, chili, turmeric and lemon juice, and mix to a marinade.
Add salt and pepper, but be careful with the amount of salt, as the No Chicken pieces are already salted.
Mix the No Chicken pieces into the marinade, and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Sauce
Put olive oil in a pot. Sauté onions and garlic. When the onions are translucent, add ginger, and sauté lightly.
Add almonds, turmeric, tomato paste and water, and mix thoroughly with onions and ginger.
Add the No Chicken pieces and the entire marinade to the sauce. Let the sauce come to a boil, and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. Boil rice and quinoa in the meantime–follow instructions on the package. Mix them after boiling.
Add cream to the Tikka Masala sauce and stir. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too strong, you can add a couple of teaspoons of sugar as needed.
Serve with quinoa and rice, and top with fresh coriander.
