Chicken Tikka Masala recipes

Chicken Tikka Masala is relatively easy to make. There are not a lot of complicated steps and the result for your efforts, I think is far superior to the store bought sauce. This is a simple version of an Indian classic chicken dish. The chicken pieces are simmered in a wonderful creamy spiced tomato sauce. Served with Basmati rice to soak up the rich sauce and you have a very tasty, yet easy to make weeknight meal. This dish can also be served with naan bread if you prefer. This is a mild version of Chicken Tikka Masala. You can add chilli powder to spice it up, if that is your preference.
