Method
-
Begin by browning the chicken mince in a pan with salt, pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. The aim here is to get the chicken crispy on the outside while keeping it juicy on the inside.
-
Melt your salted butter in a separate pan and add as much paprika as your taste buds can handle.
-
Combine hung curd, minced garlic and a pinch of salt to create a smooth and tangy base that balances the heat from the spices.
-
While the chicken and sauces are coming together, boil your pasta until al dente.
-
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken mixture, drizzle the butter sauce over it, and add generous spoonfuls of the yoghurt sauce.
-
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped tomatoes and chives for that extra touch of freshness.
For those of you who like your food with an added layer of heat, this is where the dish’s flexibility shines. You can amp up the spice level with a touch of red chilli flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice to bring out more zesty notes. And if you’re a fan of bold, savoury notes, consider tossing in a few finely chopped green chillies.
