Chicken tikka masala goes vegetarian! Here, chicken is subbed out for cubes of grilling cheese similar to Indian paneer (it won't melt in the hot sauce!). It’s tossed with pan-fried bell pepper and onion in a creamy curry sauce base with garam masala, mushroom stock, and a bit of sour cream. Serve it over fluffy rice with a final flourish of fresh cilantro.

Instructions

Cook Rice & Prep
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water(2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Core, deseed, and slice bell pepper into 1⁄2-inch-thick strips. Cut grilling cheese into 1⁄2-inch cubes. Roughly chop cilantro.

Start Curry
2

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes.

Finish Curry
3

• To pan with veggies, add Fry Seasoning, curry sauce base, stock concentrate, half the garam masala, 3⁄4 cup water, 1 TBSP butter, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper(for 4 servings, use all the garam masala, 1 1⁄4 cups water, 2 TBSP butter, and a big pinch of sugar). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly thickened and everything is thoroughly combined, 2-4 minutes more. • Turn off heat; stir in grilling cheese and sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & Serve
4
