Description
A flavorful and creamy Chicken Tikka Masala recipe by Gordon Ramsay, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh coriander, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken and yogurt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in your fridge for maximum flavor).
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden.
- Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Then stir in the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and chili powder, cooking for 2 more minutes.
- Mix in the diced tomatoes and allow them to simmer for about 10 minutes, giving the sauce a nice base.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, stirring well to coat the chicken in the spices. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and let it simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh coriander.
- Serve hot with rice or naan, and enjoy your scrumptious Chicken Tikka Masala!
Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili powder.
- This dish pairs well with basmati rice or naan bread.
