Ingredients

  • 1 tray or pouch Crazy Cuizine Chicken Tikka Masala and Rice (frozen)

  • Optional:

    • Naan bread or roti for serving

    • Chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lemon for garnish



Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.


Step 2: Prepare the Meal

  • Remove frozen meal from the outer box and any plastic film (if in a tray)

  • If using a pouch version, empty the contents into a shallow, air-fryer-safe dish or foil tray

  • If in a divided tray, transfer rice and chicken to a small oven-safe bowl or pan that fits in the air fryer

  • Cover loosely with foil to prevent the sauce from drying out


Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

  • Cook at 360°F for 12–15 minutes, stirring once around the 8-minute mark

  • Ensure the chicken is heated through and the sauce is bubbling

  • Rice should be hot and fluffy


Step 4: Serve Immediately

Garnish with fresh cilantro or a wedge of lemon if desired. Serve with naan or vegetables for a complete meal.



Pro Tips for the Best Results

Stir Midway for Even Heating

Helps distribute the heat evenly between rice and chicken.


Don’t Overcook

Masala sauce can thicken too much—watch closely near the end.


Serve With Flatbread for Full Flavor

Naan or paratha makes the dish feel restaurant-worthy.
