Chicken Tikka Masala
Some say that Chicken Tikka Masala is the national dish of the UK and invented in Glasgow during the 1970s. Others say that it’s a typical dish from the Mughal period in India. No matter where the dish originated, Chicken Tikka Masala has tons of flavor and is very easy to make.
1 cup yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsps ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsps cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
4 long skewers
1 tbsp. butter
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (use less if you don’t like it spicy)
2 tsps paprika
salt, to taste
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream or half and half (I used a mixture of the two)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
P.S. Pair this Chicken Tikka Masala recipe with my Chana Masala which is a perfect side dish.
That was a beautiful recipe it was one of the best Indian meals i have been able to cook at home and really enjoy.
