Quorn Tikka Masala

Be a kid or an adult , am sure Quorn lovers all over the world will like my new recipe, its all times favourite in my house!
Quorn replaces meat and perfect for vegetarians.
When cooked, it can be presented in many guises. Sauté it, fry it, toss it, bake it, steam it – eat it the way you want to.
 Whatever its form may be upon being cooked, its flavour may change but its flesh remains high in protein, low in fat and can be digested easily.
