This is delicious and it is fun to make. I also recommend heating up some flour tortillas for the side - they make a good substitution for naan.

This is a really fantastic dish. Do not be afraid of the long list of ingredients, it is not difficult to make. The chicken is the most moist and delicious I've ever made.

Ever since I first got into Indian food, Chicken Tikka Masala has been my favorite dish. No matter how many times a ventured off to try something new, I always ended up coming back to my first love. After trying this recipe, I no longer have to fear being adventurous and trying something new whenever I go to an Indian restaurant. Now I can have my chicken tikka masala any time I want and I promise you, it is better than any chicken tikka you will have at any restaurant. India can come to your home any time you want.
