And thus,one of the most popular curries in the world was born.
And even though its not a traditional Indian dish, the roots of it certainly are!
Regretfully, I dont have a tandoor sitting in the middle of my kitchen.
So this recipe aims to replicate the flavour using my good old stove.
Thighs, my friends.
Leave it to marinade for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Then heat your pan until its smoking hot and I meansmokin hot!!
then cook those chicken pieces so the yoghurt coating gets chargrilled.
Tikka Masala is deceptively easy!
This isnt your everyday mid week meal.
The ingredients list in the recipe looks alarmingly long, but its deceptive because there are duplicate ingredients.
And were making a serious curry here!
We cant skimp on flavour!
We even watched Youtube videos in Hindi and went to the library and dug up faded old Indian cookbooks!
Also, the sauce of Tikka Masala is more intense and complex.
LikeThai Red Curry, a store bought curry paste (even a really great one) simply doesnt compare.
I really hope you love this.
