Happy Wednesday!!
A couple of people have asked for my Chicken Tikka Masala recipe. Here is a link to the recipe I typically use. https://pinchofyum.com/chicken-tikka-masala
Most all tikka masala recipes are similar but the best thing I like about this recipe is making a batch of the Masala paste to stash in the freezer. While I LOVE cooking, somedays you need quick and simple without lacking on flavor or nutrition. The only thing I do differently from her recipe is I either use coconut milk or evaporated milk instead of cream. In my opinion it doesn't change the tastes and does lower the calories just a bit.
I also like to keep a jar of this in the pantry for quick dinners. A friend of mine told me about it a couple of years ago and since she is from India I trusted her taste, plus the ingredient list doesn't sound like a science experiment like some jarred sauces do. Just cook the chicken, add the sauce, let it heat up and serve over rice with Naan or flatbread.
I love masala and tend to make chickpea and veg version. I'll use coconut milk if my older daughter joins, but my younger and I prefer with yogurts. So hearty but still can't get hubs to eat.
ReplyDeleteThankfully my hubs loves it probably even more than I do.
DeleteI have a tendency to love anything over rice. Is it the chicken or the rice?
ReplyDeleteI do as well.
DeleteLooks easy except for making the paste since I don't have a food processor. Were you able to find the jar of the Tikki Masala at at a regular grocery store luke Wal-Mart or did you have to go to a specialty store? I bet it is so yummy though!

You shouldn't have any trouble finding it. I bought it at a regular grocery store. It is tasty.
DeleteWell this sounds intriguing. I am not familiar at all with this substance or the recipe or dish ... sounds wonderful! Happy Easter, Lori! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt has a nice warm flavor. Not spicy much at all.
DeleteHappy Easter to you as well!!
This sounds delicious! Thank you for the recipe! I found you through Billie jo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessie. Hope you stop by again.
DeleteI so wish I loved cooking!
ReplyDeleteSeems of late, that nothing I make, comes out right. -pout- And it just gets me more-down, on the whole cooking thing.
I would love to be able to have our dinners done for us, some how! But it can't be. Too expensive and I have dietary issues.
Oh well.. :-)
Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you as well!!
Sounds good! I wouldn't mind trying it with tofu.
ReplyDeleteHello! It would taste good over tofu.
