@flour tortillas{4%pieces}
@curry sauce base{8%oz}
@onion{1%unit}
@grilling cheese{8%oz}
@yogurt{2%tbsp}
@garlic{2%cloves}
@tomato{2%unit}
@cilantro{¼%cup}
@basmati rice{1%cup}
@salt{1%tsp}
@black pepper{½%tsp}
@butter{3%tbsp}
@olive oil{1%tbsp}
@water{1½%cup}

In a #medium pot{}, combine basmati rice, ¾ cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Cut grilling cheese into ½-inch cubes. Transfer to a plate; chill in refrigerator until ready to use. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel and mince or grate garlic.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add onion and tomato; season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender ~{5%minutes}. If needed, add a splash of water to help onion soften. Stir in half the cilantro; cook until fragrant ~{30%seconds}. Stir in curry sauce base, ½ cup water, 1 TBSP butter, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened ~{2%minutes}.

Add grilling cheese to pan with sauce; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat. Cook until cheese softens ~{2%minutes}. If sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water. Remove from heat. Stir in half the yogurt. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, place 2 TBSP butter in a #small bowl{}. Microwave until melted ~{30%seconds}. Stir in garlic. Brush both sides of flour tortillas with garlic butter. Place tortillas in a #second large pan{} over medium-high heat. Cook until golden brown ~{30%seconds} per side. You may need to work in batches. Sprinkle each tortilla with a pinch of salt.

Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between shallow bowls or plates. Top with grilling cheese tikka masala. Drizzle with remaining yogurt and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve roti-style tortillas on the side.
