Hello there sir!
I have a question of great importance for you.

Is there any easy recipe to do a good homemade Tikka Masala sauce?
I'm addicted to it and I have to import it from abroad paying 8 pounds/small bottle. It's too much and I want to create it myself.

Thank you

don't they have Uncle Ben's in poland Si


there's few good recipe websites, try JamieOliver.com i like the home cooking style of the recipes, here's one: chicken tikka masala | Jamie Oliver recipes


it looks complicated but to brake it down ...

fry some onions, peppers, chilli's, ginger and garlic in fat for few minutes, then add the spices (garam masala, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, paprika), fry for a min then add the cream, yogurt, tomato puree and fresh coriander, season, bring to the boil and simmer gently, reducing the sauce until you have the required consistency (thickness) of the sauce. fry/cook the chicken seperate and add to the sauce - you can add the chicken at the reducing stage and the meat will be more tender when serving, serve with rice and naan bread

also, if you boil the rice with a teaspoon of tumeric, you get yellow rice that looks like Pilau rice

hope this helps, let me know how it goes, i like tikka, curry's thrive on the use of coriander, you can't mistake it's smell with any indian dish

Thank you, I will try it.

We do have Uncle Ben's here but no Tikka from Uncle Ben's

Tikka is delicious.

if you wanted to, you could add the spices to the raw chopped meat with a little oil to marinade overnight instead, like jamie oliver mentioned instead of adding the spices to the base of the sauce, just fry the marinated chicken when i said to add the spices, this way you wont have to add any additional spices because the spices will have marinated into the meat already, you will need to fry the meat for longer though before you add the cream and other ingredients, if you seal the meat on the outside first should be enough, just make sure to cook it thoroughly 10-15 mins at least. i like tikka and would like to make it from scratch one day now that i have run the recipe through my head

I commend Yeshua for his cooking advice. You should turn this thread into the official Streethop cooking recipe threads. Yeshua can moderate this thread alone. That way his life finally has a purpose.

Ehehehehehe
