Notes
- The Chicken Tikka Masala gravy recipe uses boneless chicken breasts, and it works best for this recipe. Cutting the chicken into small, flat pieces helps them cook evenly and quickly on a grill pan.
- Letting the chicken sit longer in the marinade allows the spices to fully soak in.
- Chicken Tikka Masala Gravy goes best with Naan bread, bhatura bread, Roti, Ghee Rice, or Basmati Rice. This rich gravy tastes best when dipped with bread and mixed with rice.
- If you want an extra burst of color and tang, mix in a little canned tomato paste along with the fresh tomatoes. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves just before serving for a fresh, bright touch.
