Cooking Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta:
    Bring 1 litre of salted water to the boil with a drizzle of oil. Add the pasta and cook for 3–5 minutes until almost tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the aromatics:
    In a pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped garlic and onions until fragrant and golden brown. Set aside.
  3. Cook the chicken:
    In a larger skillet, heat another 2 Tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add the minced chicken and cook until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Build the flavour base:
    Return the garlic-onion mix to the chicken. Add chilli paste and tomato sauce, stirring well. Pour in 3 Tbsp Colman’s Garlic Aminos and cook for a minute to let the flavours meld.
  5. Add tomatoes and curd:
    Mix in diced tomatoes and let them soften. Stir through the curd to create a creamy, tangy sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Combine with pasta:
    Fold the cooked pasta into the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if it looks too thick. Toss gently until evenly coated.
  7. Finish and serve: Add torn coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix lightly and serve warm.
