Chicken Tikka Masala is a rich, flavorful Indian dish that features tender chunks of grilled or roasted chicken (known as tikka) cooked in a creamy, spiced tomato-based sauce. The chicken is first marinated in yogurt and a blend of traditional spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, then grilled to give it a smoky, charred flavor. The sauce is made by simmering tomatoes, cream, butter, and a mix of aromatic spices, creating a smooth and slightly tangy gravy with a mild heat.
Although its exact origin is debated—some say it was created in India, while others claim it was invented in the UK—Chicken Tikka Masala has become one of the most popular Indian dishes globally. It offers a perfect balance of spice, creaminess, and depth of flavor, making it a favorite comfort food. This dish is best enjoyed with soft naan, paratha, or a bowl of fragrant basmati rice.
