Directions
Easy Chicken Tikka Masala,This is a classic dish, with wonderful flavor. If you don’t have the whole spices, you can easily substitute ground/dried – 1 Tbsp whole = 1 tsp ground/dried. Lovely served over rice (we always use basmati) and served with flat bread. I like to measure everything and cut up the chicken before I get started. Even better – it’s a 1 pot meal! For step by step instructions with pictures, see: i do not mix meat and dairy used soy yogurt and soy half-and-half cream. I also used the option of ground spices, thank you for mentioning the substitution amount. When done I found that it was a bit lacking in salt and added 3/4 teaspoon which lifted the taste. Thank you for a good tikka masala recipe!,Lildebbie, I’m glad to see more tikka masala recipes turning up where the meat is cooked in the sauce: there has been a misunderstanding that “tikka masala” requires grilled meats. Actually, depending on where you travel in India, you will more typically find tikka (‘bite-sized”) meats cooked in the sauce, casserole style. This recipe is quite typical, and I’m happy I tried it!
