- Chicken Tikka Masala
- Ingredients
- 1kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup (14 oz) tomato puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh cilantro or coriander for garnish
Method
In a bowl, mix yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli powder, and salt.
Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results) in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
Or take a pan and shallow fry chicken in it.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add tomato puree to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil starts to separate.
Add the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with fresh cilantro/coriander and serve with rice or naan.
Enjoy your homemade Chicken Tikka Masala!
HAPPY COOKING!!!!
