    Chicken Tikka Masala

    Yesterday I posted Chicken Tikka recipe which is a dry one. Today I am posting a gravy version of it. That is Chicken Tikka cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. And my favourite is this one. The one thing in this recipe is it is a two step recipe...First you have to make chicken tikka and then add that in this lovely sauce. The main flavouring in this dish is butter. Since everything is done in butter it tasted awesome. But it is loaded with extra fat and calories. I served this dish with Malabar Ghee Rice  it tasted awesome.

    Ingredients for Chicken Tikka Masala

    • Chicken Tikka (Click here for recipe)
    • Onion-1 chopped finely
    • Tomato-3 pureed
    • Ginger garlic paste-1 tblspn
    • Garam masala powder-1 tsp
    • Red Chilli powder-1 tsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Coriander leaves for Garnishing
    • Milk- ½ cup
    • Butter-4 tblspn

      What a BEAUTIFUL red color! This I know is delicious!

      We're having Chicken Curry tonight but I'm cheating and using a jarred Indian curry sauce I picked up at Whole Foods....no time for homemade tonight. I also have some curry naan from Trader Joe's and basmati rice - I'm excited!

      I wish I could have eaten this with you though!!! Love your food!

      Is it ok if I dont add milk, because I dont want my chicken tikka to be sweet. I like it spicy.

      @Anonymous Yes you could do it, but milk or cream gives you lovely creaminess to this dish
