Born from the creative marriage of smoky grilled chicken and a velvety tomato-based sauce, this iconic curry is sure to captivate your senses.
In this recipe, succulent pieces of chicken marinate in a blend of cream, ginger, garlic, and a medley of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The marinated chicken is then charred to perfection, infusing it with a tantalizing smokiness that forms the foundation of this beloved dish.
The pièce de resistance of my Chicken Tikka Masala is the luscious tomato and cream-based sauce. Enriched with fenugreek leaves, garam masala, and a touch of cream, the sauce creates a harmonious balance of sweet, savoury, and mildly spicy flavours. This velvety concoction not only coats the succulent chicken pieces but also beckons you to dip your naan bread or scoop up fragrant basmati rice in its rich embrace.
