We bought some turkey meat yesterday. It is quite an unfamiliar meat for me but you really need to bear with me as I've decided to roll up my sleeves and work on it. As a first attempt, here is my Turkey Tikka Masala dish.
Ingredients
1 cup Turkey slices
3 onions
2½ cm ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves
1 dessert spoon garam masala
½ tsp chilli powder
½ dessert spoon ground coriander
½ dessert spoon ground cumin
1 dessert spoon fenugreek leaves
1 tin chopped tomatoes
4 tbsp tomato purée
480 ml water
1 dessert spoon sugar
1 tub Greek yoghurt
Chopped fresh coriander, to garnish (optional)
Method
Chop and fry the onions, ginger and garlic until they start to turn brown. Add the fenugreek leaves, these are going to give this dish the authentic aroma of curry and a pleasing depth of flavour.
Add the garam masala, chili powder, ground coriander and ground cumin if you have them. If not do not worry-Garam masala is the one you really need.
Add the tomatoes and briskly simmer this spiced sauce for about 5 minutes. Now add the tomato purée, 480ml water, salt and sugar. You will now have the makings of a red masala sauce. Blend this mixture to a smooth sauce consistency.
At this stage add your turkey to the sauce and return the pan to a low heat and allow it to simmer and penetrate the turkey pieces.
Now add the Greek yoghurt and stir this in to give the masala a glossy piquant finish.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander, if you have it.
