Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe

A classic Americanized Indian dish. It is famous for its use of curry, yogurt as
a sauce, and delicious vegetables. This version is not very authentic but is
made so that the average home cook can get a grasp on the flavors and have a new
experience. Tasting Guidelines: Taste is spicy, savory, sweet, and tart with
aromatic notes. Weight is medium but can be balanced with vinegar, lemon juice,
and sugar. Texture is crunchy chicken and veggies in a medium consistency sauce.
Good for people with low to moderate treatment side effects. Best categorized as
home cooked Indian goodness.

Instructions

1 Heat a large sauté pan to a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp. cooking oil (or just enough
to lightly grease the bottom of the pan). Add garlic, peppers, onion, and
chicken into pan and lightly sauté, stirring frequently to avoid sticking and
burning. When chicken is about halfway cooked, add seasonings and half of cup of
water. Stir vigorously to make sauce. Allow water to reduce and chicken to
develop a nice sautéed texture.
2 When everything in the pan is cooked thoroughly, stir in tomatoes and cover,
leaving at medium-heat to simmer for 15 minutes. After tomatoes have lost their
bright red color, stir in cream, yogurt, and lemon juice mixing thoroughly.
Allow to simmer at least 15 minutes to allow all flavors to meld together. Taste
for flavor, adjusting seasonings as necessary. Should be sweet, spicy, savory,
and have a nice, mellow curry flavor. Serve with basmati rice and pitas or naan
bread.
