Indian Chicken Tikka Masala

Indian Chicken Tikka Masala is a popular dish that originated in India. It is a spicy curry dish made of chicken marinated in a yogurt and spice mixture, then cooked in a tomato-based sauce. The dish is served with rice or naan bread. It is a favorite in both India and the United Kingdom, and has become one of the most popular Indian dishes around the world. The flavors of the dish can vary depending on the region and the chef, but the main ingredients remain the same.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • Step 2
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Step 3
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
