To create a restaurant-style sauce, I blended the tomato mixture with my trusty hand blender before adding the cream and chicken pieces. I now make CTM better than my mother-in-law! Shhh…this recipe is my secret now!

Absolutely loved this! I found this easy to make. I also have a sensitivity to garlic so i left it out but the result was still fab!

My husband says this is his current favorite dish that I make and wants me to make it often. We love the strong, unusual, intriguing flavor. I highly recommend using organic chicken breasts; you’ll notice a difference in their tenderness!

This is a great recipe and turns out perfect, every time! Things that I do a bit differently: I marinate the chicken in the yogurt (I always use greek yogurt) and bake it vs broil it, at 400 for 30 minutes. I add some roasted cashews and raisins to my rice, because that is how I’ve had it at Indian restaurants before and we love the little extra kick. I also add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste (+/-) and that brightens up the sauce a bit and thickens it.

I had to write a review for this recipe because it is just that darn amazing. Wonderful flavor & tastes very, very close to what we get at our fav Indian restaurant. My boyfriend appreciated the lack of coconut milk, a flavor he doesn’t like. Yes, the recipe is complicated for those new in the kitchen or those who can’t mutlitask, but if you can, add this to your recipe box, save it for a rainy day, and make it. It’s wonderful! My boyfriend couldn’t stop raving about it, shared his leftovers with others at work, and turned people on to the nirvana of this dish. Thanks to Ree and Pastor Ryan!

This is amazing!! I have never made Chicken Tikka Masala before but I’m so addicted to this recipe that I’m too afraid to try any others on the TK. I’m making this again this weekend because I’ve been craving it so badly! It’s easy to make and tastes WONDERFUL!

Delicious! The spices and yogurt make the chicken so wonderfully soft and juicy. I made this for dinner one night when my graduate student cousin stopped by and between him and my husband there were no leftovers to be seen.

I loved this! The only things I did differently: I let the chicken marinate in the yogurt (I used Greek) and herbs for almost 4 hours before broiling. It came out so tender and flavorful.

On the rice, I used my rice cooker, and because Basmati rice can be more finicky, and because my rice cooker does not have a specific setting for Basmati, this is how I prepared it, and it came out perfectly:

– 1 cup Basmati Rice (rinsed, not soaked)
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 tsp turmeric
– 2 capfuls of Sesame Oil
– Used “white rice” setting

Once the rice was finished cooking, I opened it up, let some of steam escape, and let it rest on warm for another 5 minutes or so. It was delicious. I would recommend testing some small batches of Basmati rice in your rice cooker beforehand; all cookers -and rice brands- are going to cook a little differently.

Fantastic! I made it exactly to the recipe and thought it was perfect! Very rich with all the cream, but delicious.
