Your recipe looks fabulous. Until I lived in England I had never heard of the recipe as chicken tikka masala is cooked as much here as spaghetti and meatballs at home. My husband is the one who usually cooks Indian dishes so he will definitely be interested in the recipe. Thanks so much for posting.
