Tikka Masala


Here is what I made for our dinner tonight.  The photography isn't great, but you get the idea.


This is a yummy Indian dish that I wanted to try.  I found this recipe in a magazine so I ripped it out, saved it in my nicely organized binder, and  finally, tonight, I had the chance to make it.  

I think it turned out pretty darn good.  The garlic Naan bread was delish, especially since I brushed it with a little bit of melted butter.  Jasmine rice is the way to go with this meal.  

I just now looked up tikka masala, and I discovered that it is super popular in Great Britain.  According to a survey taken in the UK, it is the country's most popular restaurant dish.  Go figure.  

Chicken ṭikka masālā (Hindiचिकन टिक्का मसाला;Bengaliচিচ্কেন টিক্কা মসলা) is a dish of roasted chicken chunks (tikka) in a spicy (masala) sauce. The sauce is usually creamy, spiced and orange-coloured. Chicken tikka masala has been said to be the most popular dish in British restaurants and it has been called "a true British national dish."[
