If you have a chocolate craving and an affinity for delicious curry, this rather unusual dish may satisfy your taste buds. Deliveroo has launched a limited-edition Nutella chicken masala in celebration of World Nutella Day this Friday.
The chocolatey take on the classic masala dish was created by popular Indian restaurant chain Tamatanga, which has locations in Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham.
If you're thinking of trying the Nutella chicken masala, you'll have to be quick - it's only available until Sunday.
Chef Himanshu Khurana at Tamatanga spent weeks perfecting the limited-edition curry, which has been created to celebrate World Nutella Day.

Made with multiple layers of aromatic ingredients, the savoury-sweet curry sauce features a lathering of the chocolate-hazelnut spread along with pungent whole red chilli, spices, coconut milk, lime zest, garlic and coriander stems, coating deliciously tender chicken tikka pieces.
The new dish will probably divide lots of people due to the combination of sweet and savoury made using the iconic chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Aman Kular, Managing Director at Tamatanga said: "Our friend's at Deliveroo challenged us with creating a truly mouth-watering Nutella curry, and to our surprise, we were blown away by the results.
"For decades people have used nuts to make rich and creamy sauces, and many chefs will know you also experience a depth in food when you match chocolate with chilli.

"The flavours work so well together - the taste is incredible, you've got to try it to believe it."
As curious customers await their chance to try the new dish, Deliveroo has revealed Birmingham is the curry capital of the UK, with more customers ordering curry per capita than any other region.
Arabella Jenkins at Deliveroo said: "Food discovery, innovation and creativity has always been at the heart of what we do at Deliveroo, but 2021 is the year to take great food to the next level.
We shocked Londoners in 2018 by creating the first Nutella Chicken Kebab, and this year, our partners at Tamatanga have succeeded in creating the latest experimental dish that our customers didn't know they wanted. Curry and Nutella - what's not to love?"

The Nutella chicken curry will be available to Deliveroo customers in Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham for a limited time only on Tamatanga's menu from 2nd-7th February, priced at £10.95 excluding delivery and service fees.
