You can get tika masala spice mix in packets at a middle eastern grocery store fairly inexpensive. It has all the seasonings in the correct proportions so you don't need to measure.

Not only does he teaches us compromises that won’t affect the dish that much, but also gives us the all available methods to cook the dishes. Respect!

I just made this. Didn't have heavy cream but I used coconut cream instead. Turned out amazing! If you're on the fence about trying this, this is your sign. Go make it! Your family will thank you ❤❤❤

One of the many benefits of having an "Indian/Pakistani/Bengali" community in your town is that there are going to be stores that cater to those communities and in those stores they sell vast amounts of the required spices inexpensively. I bought myself a box of Ball canning jars and then filled them with bags of cumin or turmeric or star anise and anything else I was advised to get. As an example, a half-pound bag of ground turmeric is around $5. Don't even get me started how much McCormics want for their little dinky ripoff jar in the local Safeway. I have a Bengali store at the end of my street and It's just the best going there. Super helpful and the best sweets/dessert counter ever.

As an Indian, (yes I know this is a British invention) I am very happy you include the curries of my country in your videos. I love how the west is embracing ours and other asian countries' dishes and making them at home. Still, you can go beyond the restaurant dishes and go for a more homely dishes. We don't eat this every week lol.

Slight pro tip: if you're anyway getting the garam masala for this, sprinkle some on at the very end. Not an awful lot, just enough for a slight kick. Also crushing up dried fenugreek leaves and using that as a garnish would be great too, they smell incredible and are basically used as a garnish for almost every homecooked indian meal

This turned out great. I had a few other spices at hand, like the cumin you mentioned and also turmeric, so I added them in. Also fried the chicken in clarified butter, which you can make easily. The next day I used the leftovers and added them in some tortillas, with some onions and cilantro, and made tika masala tacos, and they were amazing as well. Great recipe.

Made this yesterday. Best dish ever!!! It’s a bit more like $3 per serving with organic chicken, but I’ll take it!

Was literally searching for your recipe tomorrow’s dinner and now there’s a cheaper one 😂

[danielrussell]

Not gonna lie, I have been modifying your but cheaper butter chicken into Tikka masala for Years! There are only a few changes between recipes and everyone loves the dish. Glad to see after all this time I was doing it Josh approved.

I cooked this today! It was one of the best curries I’ve ever had. The chicken had so much flavour and the sauce was so thick and yummy. Will cook this again and again

Made this tonight. It was delicious! :) Used coconut cream and ghee instead of heavy cream and unsalted butter, but otherwise made it your way. Thanks for sharing!

We just had this for the 2ND TIME in the 3 weeks this video has been posted. A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!! It has officially been added to our rotation of home cooked meals. THANK :)

Tried this recipe a few days ago and the curry is absolutely one of the tastiest things I've ever made in the kitchen. If it was as cheap as 2$ in my country (the ingredients cost way more) I couldn't help myself but doing this A LOT.
Also I didn't blend the vegetables, I don't know if it's better with blending but having thin pieces of ginger and garlic was incredible so I think it might be better without blending.

I made this today for me and my girlfriend while we were camping. It's really really nice and I 100% recommend. But a word of warning for British people and those with weak stomachs, this is much hotter than any tikka masala you'd get in the UK. I wasn't expecting that and it was quite a shock, though I'm not sure how much of it was my fault since we didn't have enough chopped tomatoes.

[iphaze]

Been using Ghee instead of vegetable or olive oil and IMO is makes everything taste better. Also season the pan with cloves, cinnamon and mixed spice first before throwing in your shallots, ginger and garlic — that’s just my opinion

[AngelLuv]

I did buy this for $17 at a restaurant when I visited my old college campus. Now my new goal is to learn all the recipes to make it myself. Thank you for the price and ingredient breakdown!

I hope who’s ever reading this happens to have the best day of their life

[matthewsteimel]

Great recipe! I've made it a few times and found some alterations that make it even more convenient (for me at least):

I prefer to cook the chicken under the broiler instead of on the stove, because every time I've tried to pan fry it I end up with a thick layer of blackened spices on the bottom of my pan. As a bonus, it also makes it quicker since you can cook the chicken and the sauce at the same time

I prefer a higher ratio of sauce to meat than the original recipe gives, and I can only get 28oz cans of tomatoes where I live, so I've been doubling every ingredient except the chicken and it turns out perfectly

Downloaded the recipe & made this one on the weekend, it was delicious. My son said that’s a keeper.
