Tikka Masala

GF

This is undoubtedly one of the most popular dishes in Indian takeout and our family agrees! I thought this would be too spicy for the kiddos but it was PERFECT! It’s Indian comfort food that you will want to make weekly!

Recipe

Tikka Masala

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tsp ghee

1/4 cup onion

2 cloves chopped garlic

2 tsp yellow curry powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 dash each of cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 Tbsp tomato paste

1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup almond milk

1/4 cup tomato puree

2 Tbsp Greek yogurt

1 1/2 lbs. cubed chicken breast or chicken thighs (personal preference)

Instructions

1. In saucepan over medium-low heat, melt ghee and add onion and garlic. Sweat until translucent, no color on onions.

2. To the pan add all the spices and cook for a minute or two to toast and bring out flavor.

3. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to get raw flavor out.

4. Add chicken broth, almond milk, tomato puree, yogurt and whisk and simmer for 3 minutes.

5. Add raw chicken and gently cook until chicken is just done.

6. If the sauce is too thin, you can add a slurry of 2 tsp. cornstarch and 2 tsp. water to thicken.

7. Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice! Enjoy!!
