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.

Tips & Tricks

• 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.
