Add all chicken tikka marinade ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined and chicken is coated. Leave to marinade for 4+ hours.
Spread chicken evenly onto a lined grill pan and place under for 10-15 mins, flipping each piece of chicken once throughout cook time.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat and add onion. Cook onion for 5 mins, before adding garlic, ginger, red chilli, tomato puree and curry powder. Stir to combine and add a small splash of water to create a paste.
Add chopped tomatoes to a blender and blitz until smooth. Then, transfer blended chopped tomatoes to pan and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook for 10-15 mins, until sauce thickens. Then add single cream and bring pan to a low simmer for 5 mins.
Once chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside, transfer directly to tikka masala sauce and stir to combine. Season to taste before serving.
