   Cook the marinated chicken in a hot pan in batches until lightly coloured; it does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Transfer it to a clean plate.

3. 03

   Build the sauce with the remaining yogurt and tikka spice according to the listed ingredients. Return the chicken and simmer gently until it reaches 74°C throughout.

4. 04

   Rest for 3 minutes, then serve with the intended accompaniment.
