Serious Eats Chicken Tikka Masala -Maybe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Lots of steps, but once you get going -- it comes together pretty quickly. I must say that I marinated the chicken overnight and I grilled it the day before I made the tikka masala. Love the flavor of the grilled chicken and I plan to use this marinade often just for grilled Indian chicken alone. I remove the meat from the bone the following day and prepared the sauce which came together quickly with a nice flavor and heat level. Served it over rice with Naan bread on the side. Served it with an Indian Spinach Salad on the side. Lovely dinner and well worth the effort.

    Serious Eats Chicken Tikka Masala – Maybe the Best,Entered for safe-keeping, by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt of Serious Eats, touted as “The Best Chicken Tikka Masala”. Adapted somewhat. He gives 2 ways to finish cooking: on the grill or under the broiler. He recommends pulsing the peeled ginger and garlic in a food processor instead of box-grating them. Can’t wait to try this! He recommends bone-in chicken because the meat (especially breasts) is less likely to overcook. For best taste, toast whole seeds and then grind in a spice-dedicated coffee grinder. Preparation time includes 4 hours for marination.,Lots of steps, but once you get going — it comes together pretty quickly.
