Chicken Tikka Masala

The development of the classic Tikka Masala is shrouded in myth and mystery. Some swear it was invented by their great grandmother. Others say it was developed by Indian chefs in the United Kingdom as a way to cater to British tastes for a gravy-like sauce with their chicken Tikka. However it came into being, Chicken simmered in a medium spiced creamy-tomato sauce is the most prevalent dish served in Indian restaurants. If you have the time and inclination, this recipe uses garlic, ginger and extra onion for even more texture but the dish works just as well using only chicken (fish or vegetables) and a jar of our sauce.
