Instructions
Cut the ginger into small pieces and cut the spring onion and cilantro in rings/pieces. Put this together with all other spices and the lemon juice into a bowl. Use a food processor or blender to mix this into a paste.
Take ⅓ of the paste, this is what you need for two persons. You can freeze what is leftover for later. Put the masala paste together with the lactose-free yoghurt into a bowl. Stir in the pieces of chicken breast and leave it to marinate in the fridge for at least half an hour. The longer the better.
Bring a pan with water to boil. Boil the rice for 15 minutes in water with a bit of salt. Drain the rice after cooking and leave it to rest in the pan with the lid on.
In the meantime, fry the chicken until it is done on all sides. Because you have already marinated the chicken it is not necessary to add oil to the pan. Add the sieved tomatoes and the coconut milk to the chicken. Leave the sauce to simmer for 15 minutes, until it has thickened a bit more.
Serve the chicken tikka masala with the white rice and some more cilantro.
