Tikka Masala
Savor the rich and complex flavors of our Tikka Masala - it's sure to satisfy any cravings for a bold but perfect balance of savory and creamy in each bite. Our recipe allows making tikka masala with paneer/tofu or chicken.
While folklore is that chicken tikka masala was invented in the UK by a restauranteur whose customer wanted a sauce on his chicken tikkas - and who was the restauranteur to say no?! And so the chicken tikka masala was invented and quickly gained popularity.
Serve with a hot pita, naan, or whole wheat wrap or steamed rice. Also try with Yellow Tadka Dal- lentil soup or side (kit available). Yogurt can help cool off.
Serves 4–6
