Rob - if you can't get hold of milder chillis over there, just let me know and I can pop some in the post for you.   The tikka paste really needs milder chillis so you can appreciate the taste of all the other spices.

rob what about sambal oelek (chilli paste) ..maybe you can buy that in the supermarkert...here we have an international section of foreign foods and spices etc and also a forieign fruit and veg in thre fresh produce section.... you could always substitute a teaspoon or to taste some paste if you have trouble finding chillis??? or just a tiny bit of cayenne pepper or something else to add a little spice but not too much...there are always substitutes...some speciatlity shops also sell chillis in jars or cans usually from either spain or mexico...just an option when you dont live in a country or a city big enough to cater for items that arent that known or popular in the majority of europe....anything for curries or chilli etc arent easy to get hold of in France because the locals dont in general like anything spicy....a mild would be spicy for most froggies i know... once i made gucacamole and they found it too spicy..wasnt at all but I have learnt to tone everything down alot as DH and I love spice..anyway hope you find an alternative  :)

Maybe you could use it for the chicken tikka masala that is with a fair amount of yoghurt?

This Butter Chicken with the Home Made Tikka paste is absolutely out-of-this-world. I would definately recommend you to cook this! ;D

Hi guys. Does the chicken stay chunky in this recipe or does it shred up fairly finely?? I'd love to see a photo of it if anyone has one?

Ok, thanks Judy and Cornish Cream. I'll try it this week. I made a chicken dish last night and the chicken shredded and was quite bitsy. I must have had speed up to high while in reverse. Love butter chicken so will try this and take a photo :)

i have found that no matter the recipe the diced chicken should be added only in hte last 8 mins max or it will end up shredded unless there is alot of liquid in the bowl...so now no matter hte recipe i just continue as the recpe states andadd the chicken in the last 7 to 8 mins of cooking..no more shredded chicken  ;D

I never add the chicken to the Thermomix, always use a pot on the stove. The Tikka paste is gorgeous. I made a Tikka Fish Curry tonight and it was divine. I added sour cream and lemon juice as I didn't have any yoghurt.

Part 1 done. Tikka Paste Made. Thought I would upload a photo of the paste. I thought it would have been a little redder. I tried it and its nice and spicey! I have put it in 150g batches and plan to freeze them and pull them out when I need them. I know the recipe says only 100g of tikka paste for the butter chicken but i always like to add a little extra :)

Lucky me.. Lisa brought round some of this paste yesterday & i made a variation to the chicken tikka with it last night... I added some Greek Yoghurt to the paste to make a marinade then cooked the chicken strips in the Varoma..

It was so delicious that I made myself extra sauce (with the yoghurt & paste again) & warmed this threw before drizzling it onto of the marinated chicken & rice...

I served it with rice with brocolli & carrots but i think Bok Choy would have gone down a treat with this dish.. & maybe a pappadum or 2..   :)

YUMMO - THANKS LISA!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
