How to Make an Authentic Malai Chicken Masala in Under 20 Minutes | Mum's Recipe | Chef Hussain

How to make a Malai Chicken Masala with Chef Hussain.
If you love original, pure Indian cuisine you're in the right place. We don't do gloopy, watery or oily sauces. Straightforward, honest food - just how we make it at home. For a vegetarian or vegan option, substitute the chicken for tofu, beans or legumes.
🍛 What is an Malai Chicken Masala?
While its core flavours originated in India, variations of this dish have been passed down through generations and adapted along the way. The chicken tikka masala is now a true British national dish. With its succulent chicken tikka pieces and creamy tomato sauce, it's a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external culinary influences.
🔥 Is it spicy?
Traditionally, a Masala is not a hot curry. While it contains chilli powder, the cream within the sauce will cool it down, making it a medium spice. If you would like yours a little hotter, add more chilli powder.
🛒 Ingredients:
-500g chicken fillets (diced)
-2 medium sized onions
-2 vine tomatoes
-4 tspn of rapeseed oil
-4 cloves of garlic
-¼ cup single cream
-½ inch piece of ginger

I made your balti 2 days ago which was 10/10. Today I made your Jalfrezy which was 10+/10. Tomorrow I will make this. I cannot thank you enough for these videos. They are a complete game changer for me.

Chef has a very gentle approach and a lovely voice, and the food looks great - I really enjoy his videos and wish I lived closer to his restaurant.

[@nicolecourtney8688]

Thank you SO much for making these videos so detailed AND more importantly giving the written recipe in the description REALLY helps me to be prepared when i start the video and cooking process. I am an american white girl and I have had so many problems finding something this detailed. I love indian food but ordering out all the time is too expensive! So i am trying out recipes like this to satisfy my curry cravings.
