Notes

Check the flavour for the sour and sweet balance adding more sweet by way of sugar or more sour by way of tamarind if you like.

Absolutely delicious. A chicken tikka pathia is my husband’s favourite from the takeaway so thought I’d try this and it was a hit. Even my teen daughters enjoyed it. Served with ‘easy pilau rice’, also delicious. Will definitely Cook again

As easy as everyone says, we're not big on sugar in our house so didn't have any but used some mango chutney that I did have to add the sweetness and it worked superbly, excellent recipe. Will be a regular dish served at ours from now.

So delicious and quick to make. Following the question from another subscriber I coated the chicken in tandoori masala before frying-the meat was so tender and added a great element to the dish. Thank you for the recipe.

Hi Nisha, I have cooked quite a few of your recipes, all excellent, but Pathia is my absolute favourite, so cooking it tonight! It’s normally quite spicy where eat locally, is there a way to increase the heat a bit, or is this hot enough? Thanks. Neil

Yes do add 1 tsp chili powder and that will dial up the heat or add 3 chopped green chilies for a fresher heat

First recipe I’ve cooked and was blown away, so easy to do, way better than a takeaway.

Hi Nisha Delicious as always. Pathia is one of my fav british curries. Do I use the same spices if I want to make a lamb curry?

You can make a lamb pathia with the same spices but a long slow cook with a bit more water to loosen

Do you have a recipe for a shashlik by any chance? It’s a fan favourite of my husband and would love to have this in my repertoire. The pathia is amazing as is everything I’ve made so far.
