Chicken Tikka Masala with Pilau Rice

What is it?

Creamy masala sauce coats pieces of tikka-spiced poultry, served alongside pilau rice in a frozen two-part tray. Expect a thicker sauce built from spice, tomato, and dairy, with a warm orange colour and a mild-to-medium heat level that won't overpower the rice. Pilau grains should come out separate rather than clumped, carrying their own aromatic notes of cumin and cardamom. It's a straightforward freezer-to-microwave or oven format, portioned for one. Within the frozen meal range, it sits among other curry-and-rice combinations rather than the pasta or mash-based dinners.
