This dish has a variety of recipes, but this one is my favourite recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala.. It’s rich texture and the aroma of all the spices makes it so special. You can either have it with garlic naan, chapati or boiled rice.. We used to visit this Restaurant in Kuwait where in dinner we could have Poori as well. And we always loved to have Poori in our main course, specially with kabab or Chicken Handi.

1

In a big mixing bowl add the chicken chunks with all the spices and yogurt.

Mix nicely, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate at least for 1 hour or overnight.
3

In a chopper, finely chop the onion and keep aside. Make tomato purée and keep aside.
4

Now remove the marinated chicken and give a mix. And in a non-stick pan/wok, add 4-5 tbsp oil and add these chunks one by one. Do not over fill the pan, otherwise the chicken will leave it’s waters. Remove in a bowl when done. And repeat the step for the remaining chicken. (keep the flame on medium high)
