Everytime I go to my local indian I order their Nizami murgh. It's gorgeous! They describe it as a medium hot curry made with chicken tikka & mince meat. It has a red colour and is fairly sweet in taste.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make this? I've looked online but can't really find it. Will stick a photo of the curry on this thread next time I order it from the takeaway.
Ahy help or ideas would be great as I don't have a clue where to start!

Thanks

You should try asking the chef at your takeaway.  They may let you in on a few secrets as to how to make the curry.  I don't think they'll give you the recipe, but you never know!  I did this a lot when I was in India.  I'd ask if I could talk to the chef...tell them how much I loved their food...and ask if they could give me any tips.  More often than not, they'd rattle off the ingredients and even tell me what was in their spice mixtures.

"Nizami Murgh" may be the name given to it by the restaurant. Not Generic.

I second  @myfancypantry advice.

RaitaLover,  does it contain chicken chunks and minced chicken both? Is it creamy? I think it is butter chicken...try to post picture, it will help to crack the recipe.

@RaitaLover
Agree with everyone above.

Curious to know how tikka and mince meat are combined/cooked in the gravy?

There is definitely red food color added (in my opinion). Just wondering though, do you think it may be getting its sweetness from coconut milk?  Can you taste that at all?  Otherwise it looks very similar to a chicken tikka masala to me...

What town is this restaurant in ? I doubt from the photos, that the recipe is very complex. Could be Chicken cooked in creamy tomato sauce.

Raitalover, I agree with above two comments. This is simple restaurant preparation. They have used little bit tandoori color, it contains tomato puree and chunks of tomatoes. They must be adding grilled chicken to the gravy or cooking all together like we prepare at home. Tomato puree brings mild sweetness to the gravy. I don't think minced chicken meat is used in this curry. I will make similar curry and give you details.
