Instructions

  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or place on a baking tray.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

  1. In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. Add the canned tomatoes, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

4. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

  1. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and stir well to coat.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until combined. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with basmati rice or naan.

Tips

  • Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the chili powder to your taste.
  • Make Ahead: The marinade can be prepared in advance, and the chicken can be marinated overnight for deeper flavor.

Enjoy your delicious Chicken Tikka Masala!
