To prepare, you will typically need to cook the marinated chicken according to the kit's instructions, which often involves pan-frying or baking until fully cooked. While the chicken cooks, you'll heat the pre-made tikka masala sauce. Once the chicken is ready, it's combined with the sauce and simmered briefly to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot, often with rice or naan bread. The kit aims to streamline the cooking process, offering a convenient way to enjoy this classic dish.

Unlike making chicken tikka masala from scratch, this kit eliminates the need to source and measure individual spices and ingredients.
