Directions
Probably the most popular dish on the menu of any Indian restaurant in the states is the chicken tikka masala. But ironically this dish is claimed to be originally from Britain and is actually Britains national dish.,Ive attempted a skinny version of this dish many times without all the cream and ghee (clarified butter) yet never felt quite satisfied with the results. I almost gave up figuring this is probably just one of those dishes that does not lighten up well. After all, its also known as Butter Chicken!,There is no standard recipe for chicken tikka masala; a survey found that of 48 different recipes, the only common ingredient was the chicken so I am sure we all have different ideas of what it should taste like. This week I stumbled on this recipe from a throw down with Bobby Flay from the restaurant Saffron on the Hudson. I gave it another shot using fat free yogurt and low fat milk in place of the cream and we felt for a lightened up version it was pretty darn good and not too complicated, my kind of recipe! I served this over a basmati medley but this would also be wonderful with naan.,Mango Lassi,Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup,Lamb Kheema with Peas,Indian Spiced Cauliflower and Potato aka Aloo Gobi
