Delicious and Easy Chicken Tikka Masala! Delicious and Easy Chicken Tikka Masala!
The first time I tried Chicken Tikka Masala was at a friend's house. Her mother had graciously invited me over for lunch. From the very first bite of her delicious dish I was in love. It was creamy and spicy and filled with chunks of marinated chicken. She showed me her spice pantry... Which could rival any spice merchant. She scooped kashmiri pepper powder out of a big container and into a large jar as well as another jar full of her own special garam masala blend and shared her recipe. I thanked her and told her I would try to make it as good as hers... She laughed and said you can try but no one makes it as good as I do. Carlota McDougall (McVladie) -

Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza
Chicken Tikka Masala is one of my favorite Indian dishes. Pizza is always a classic. Naan bread is one of my wife's favorite breads(and mine too). Today while grocery shopping I was planning to make Tikka Masala for dinner, then it hit me... why not try and make a chicken Tikka Masala pizza for dinner. The end result was awesome... in my opinion 😊 William Barnes -

Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Tikka Masala
I have adapted the Hairy Bikers low calorie recipe, but omitted a few ingredients and replaced them with tinned Cream of Tomato soup...and also altered the timings to ensure the chicken is cooked. For a perfect rice accompaniment, see the recipe https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/349657-spiced-rice?invite_token=j5GQqczGzsAkfiG9AndcR8P5&shared_at=1618843067 Celeste -

Shrimp Tikka Masala Shrimp Tikka Masala
I wanted tikka masala, but I also wanted to try something new. I had never heard of anyone making shrimp masala (I'm sure it's gotta be some sort of faux pas and I'm sure someone else must have made this sometime, but I don't care! Lol). The basis for this recipe is my go-to chicken tikka masala recipe that I have used for years. The original recipe called for heavy cream. I have switched to coconut milk in this dish for a more traditional approach, and it provides a dairy free dish. Coconut milk, however, is not quite as healthy as it is touted to be. With 12g of saturated fat (the bad fat) per 1/3 cup serving you are still in the same range as heavy cream once distributed into a dish. It's still fewer calories and fat, but not by much. As always, all things in moderation my dears! As much as we love it, I only make this about twice a year. I am going to begin toying with other substitutes for low fat options. StephieCanCook -
