I have a fierce craving for Indian food at most times of the day. In my opinion it’s the perfect winter comfort food. Since we are hither and yon from quality Indian, I must make do on my own. Sadly, Chicken Tikka Masala is something I’ve failed at making too many times. What’s a mama to do? Ask The Professor of course. He threw in a little of this, a little of that, and ba boom, we had THIS.
(The man sure is handy, isn’t he?)
Chicken Tikka Masala is an Indian staple with juicy pieces of chicken simmered in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce.
Now tell me, what’s not to like? Especially with that amazing flatbread Indian naan on the side?
Ingredients are likely on-hand or simple to procure. So. I think it’s time to get some Indian on!

Oh, and by any chance were you drooling over the flatbread naan? The truth is, if you’re going to eat Indian, you have to have toasted naan to mop up the delicious Indian sauce. Never fear, that recipe is coming up next! And it’s wicked good.
OH, I love how good this looks! Tikka Masala is so delicious – kinda want it for breakfast now.
Haha, Lisa – me too. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I’m an Indian food fanatic.
Aaand drooling. I can’t wait to try this! It looks fairly doable even for me, and I think I can get all those ingredients here! Once I start cooking again post baby this will be on our menu! I’m excited for The naan recipe.
Agh! So good! I am so waiting – not a strong suit- for the Naan recipe!
Just printed. This is my kind of recipe. Do you think coconut milk would be as good? (We don’t mix milk and meat for kosher reasons.)
Oh, that sounds good! Let me know how it goes.
Yum. Can’t wait to try this. Saw your photo on Instagram a long time ago and knew I wanted to get your recipe… sorry it took so long. I like Indian food, and fortunately my kids do too, although so far we’ve just used Trader Joe’s Curry Simmer Sauces (which are fabulous.) Will pin and make! Thanks to you and The Professor. 😉
