Easy homemade chicken tikka masala recipe, one of the most famous Indian cuisine recipes, chicken tikka masala is creamy, spicy and so flavorful!
Chicken tikka masala is perfect for weeknight dinners, it’s ready in 45 minutes and delicious served with Basmati rice and naans.
In this recipe, the chicken breasts or thighs are cut in 1 inch pieces, seared on all sides and set aside. Then a flavorful tomato sauce spiced with paprika, garam masala powder and Cayenne is cooked until reduced and thickened, assembled with the cooked chicken, it’s delicious, easy and advantageous! Serve with Basmati rice and naans.
- I used store bought garam masala powder, it’s a spice blend generally made of cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, star anise, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon.
To make this chicken tikka masala:
- You can use chicken breasts or chicken thighs, I prefer chicken breasts, I find it’s handier
- Cut your chicken in 1 inch pieces, dredge in flour and sear 3 to 4 minutes on all sides in hot oil, set aside
- For the sauce, melt a chunk of butter, add all the ingredients for the spiced tomato sauce except cream, cook to reduce and thicken the sauce, about 10 to 15 minutes, add the cream, cook 1 minute, taste and adjust seasoning, add the chicken pieces, cook just to re-heat
