a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
c) Fry until golden brown, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
a) Add the garlic, North Indian style spice mix and tomato puree to the chicken. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
b) Add the chicken stock paste, creme fraiche, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine.
c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

c) Spoon the curry onto each naan, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until golden and toasted, 4-5 mins.
a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.

c) Just before you're ready to serve, add the baby gem to the tomatoes and toss to coat.
