Description

Chicken tikka masala is a popular dish that combines marinated, grilled chicken with a creamy tomato-based sauce. The chicken is typically marinated in yogurt and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder before being cooked in a tandoor or grill until charred and juicy. The sauce is made by sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger, then adding tomatoes, cream, and a blend of spices like garam masala and paprika. Once the sauce thickens, the grilled chicken is added and simmered until the flavors meld. Chicken tikka masala is best served hot with rice or naan and garnished with fresh cilantro for a satisfying meal.
