Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken tikka — If you don't have access to pre-made chicken tikka, marinate boneless chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, spices (such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala), ginger, garlic, and lemon juice. Grill or bake until cooked through, then thinly slice for the Strammer Max.

- Experiment with different types of bread, such as naan or paratha, to add an extra Indian touch to the dish.
- Customize the spice level of the tomato chutney according to your preference by adjusting the amount of chili powder or adding fresh green chilies.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken tikka with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or grilled vegetables.
