This recipe comes from the popular reddit personality /u/Unidan. While this is not the most traditional recipe, it is fairly simple. If you're like I was and feeling intimidated by the complexity and effort of many other chicken tikka massala recipes out there, this is a great starting point. Many modifications can of course be made, and I will try to provide updates as I experiment with this.
