Ingredients:
For Chicken Marinade:
● 500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
● 1 cup plain yogurt
● 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
● 1 tablespoon garam masala
● 1 tablespoon ground cumin
● 1 tablespoon ground coriander
● 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
● 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
● Salt to taste
● 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Sauce:
● 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
● 1 large onion, finely chopped
● 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
● 1 teaspoon ground cumin
● 1 teaspoon ground coriander
● 1 teaspoon paprika
● 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
● 1 teaspoon garam masala
● 1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes
● 1 cup heavy cream
● Salt and sugar to taste
● Fresh cilantro (Coriander Leave), chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
● In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Cook the Chicken:
● Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
● In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
● Stir in ground cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
● Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
4. Finish the Dish:
● Once the chicken is cooked, add it to the sauce. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Adjust salt and sugar according to taste.
● Garnish with chopped cilantro (Coriander Leave) and serve the Chicken Tikka Masala over steamed rice or with naan bread.
