This chicken tikka masala is an easy but flavoursome version of everyone's favourite mild-medium curry!
Here's my version of this classic chicken curry. I usually make double or triple the quantity of the sauce at one time because it freezes very well. I also add much more than the 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper that I have listed here so please adapt if you prefer more heat.
Chunks of chicken are marinated in yoghurt and spices, cooked on the barbecue or in a griddle pan, then served in a creamy tomato sauce. Perfect with basmati rice or warm pitta bread.
After scouting the net for a recipe I found too many variations so I experimented with basic ingredients myself, and came up with this version. So far I have had no complaints, even my 7-year-old daughter thinks it's scrummy. I have split the ingredients into 2 stages for ease, as this, like most curry recipes, is prepared in 2 stages.

Try making your own chicken tikka masala and see how it compares to a takeaway! It's spiced chicken baked in a very hot oven, then added to a rich tomato and curry-based cream sauce.
This recipe started out from a demonstration of curry making that I gave to a meeting of Yorkshire Ladies many years ago. It was inspired by recipe ideas from Pat Chapman of The Curry Club and has evolved out of that. It is essentially a two stage recipe that involves making spiced chicken and then a mildly curried tomato sauce. Also, do not be daunted by the long list of spices as you can short cut them out by using prepared curry powders per the first tip at the end of the recipe.
Diced chicken rubbed with a paste made from blended coriander, mint, and other distinctive flavours. Chicken legs may also be used. This recipe is cooked under the grill, but works well on the barbecue too.
