PREP TIME 5 MINS

COOK TIME 25 MINS

SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 mini roti, warmed following packet directions
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 6 chicken thigh fillets, diced
• 1 brown onion, diced
• 375g Passage to India Extra Mild Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce
• 200g frozen peas
• Yoghurt, to serve
• Coriander leaves, optional, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan-forced. Spray the mini roti with olive oil cooking spray and press them into a 6-hole Texan muffin pan. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
2. While the roti is baking, heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook it for 5-6 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned on all sides. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and drain any excess fat.
3. In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until it softens. Now, pour in the Passage to India Extra Mild Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce and ¼ cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, ensuring it’s well coated with the delicious butter chicken sauce. Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Add the frozen peas to the pan for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
5. Once everything is ready, spoon the flavorful butter chicken into the mini roti bowls.
6. To enhance the taste, serve the Mild Butter Chicken Roti Bowls with a side of yogurt and sprinkle some fresh coriander leaves on top, if you prefer.
