Egg Tikka Masala with a smoked tandoori flavour is something different from the traditional chicken or paneer tikka.Tikka masala is a delicious tomato based thick gravy and has a smooth and creamy texture. Marinated grilled eggs with onions and bell peppers are tossed in a rich creamy tikka masala gravy and are charcoal smoked lending a tandoori flavour that's the speciality of this dish.Adding mustard oil in marinade imparts a lovely flavor to this dish.Enjoy it on any special weekend dinner or at parties with tandoori roti,naan, phulka or jeera rice.
