Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Grind all the whole spices to a fine grind. Add the remaining spices and mix. Mix in the lemon juice, vinegar and a little water to form a paste. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the paste and fry for ten minutes or until the moisture has been absorbed.
  • Put 3 tbs tikka paste and 1/4 cup of yogurt in a bowl and add chicken pieces and leave marinate for 1/2 hour. Heat 1 tbs oil in a pan and fry the onions for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, chili's and garlic and continue frying for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, 3 tbs tikka paste and chicken stock and bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Put this mixture in a blender and puree till smooth. Grill the chicken until done ( around 12 minutes) then put sauce back in the pan with the remaining yogurt and add the chicken and cook on medium heat for around 5-10 minutes. You can also broil the chicken if you don't grill it.

    My very favorite Indian dish, thanks SO much. No, this is not the same as Chicken Marsala, which is Italian and uses Marsala wine.

    I don't think I've ever had Tikka Masala, I've had Chicken Marsala. Is it the same thing? I have everything on hand for this except the tikka paste. What is it and where do I get it? SInce hubby and son are gone this week, it's a good time to try "different" things. LOL
