Last night I had the pleasure of trying out one of Geeta’sTikka Masala curry paste meal starter packages from Jolly Grub. I call it a
meal starter because it was probably one of the easiest meals I’ve ever cooked
that wasn’t a TV dinner! The directions were so simple they barely took up a
quarter of the entire backside of the small package it came in. All I had to
add were three ingredients – two of which you may already have: an onion and
about a half a cup of single cream (for us American’s that’s light cream). The
last ingredient needed is a small can of diced tomatoes, I used most of an 8oz
can, the recipe called for 250 to 300 grams. You can use all sorts of meats for
this meal – seafood, pork, you name it, however for this recipe I used just
around a half pound of chicken.

It started simply by frying the onion (diced) until golden
brown. From there I added the chicken to the same pan and fried that until it
was starting to look cooked. Here was the fun part, I added the curry paste and
mixed thoroughly - I was starting to resemble what I remember as curry! The smell
in my kitchen was unbelievable, the chicken and spices simmering filled the
entire house.
From there I added the light cream and a splash of water and
let it simmer on the stove for about 20 minutes. When I returned to check it out
I had some finished curry ready to pour over rice. I couldn’t forget Geeta’s
Mango Chutney to go along with the chicken. It’s like a delicious sweet barbecue
jam that goes perfect with any meat imaginable – including curry chicken.
My meal was a success and I owe it all to Jolly Grub and
Geeta's products. It was so simple to make I am probably going to stock up for
when I’m feeling something quick and easy for dinner. If you want your own you
can always find it here, and don’t forget to follow Jolly Grub on Facebook for
