Recipe For Pan Masala
Elis Riebow
This rich and creamy flavoursome Chicken tikka rivals any Indian restaurant! Why go out when you can make it better at home! With aromatic golden chicken pieces swimming in an incredible curry sauce, this Chicken Tikka Masala recipe is one of the best you will try! Pair it with our buttery garlic naan breads!
This recipe is AMAZING. I have Celiac disease so I am always trying to make my favorite restaurant-style meals at home and this one was delicious. I am also not the best of cooks, but I just followed the recipe and it came out perfectly.
This dish is excellent. Definitely recommend marinating the chicken overnight. One thing I will day as many may not use the Kashmiri chili. It is very very spicy. I loved it but it was WAY to overwhelming for my wife, and she can handle a little heat. If you are using Kashmiri with this, I would recommend cutting it in half for this recipe. If you like it mild the quarter it. Great recipe, amazing flavor but man that Kashmiri is spicy.
Wow! There is so much depth and flavor to this recipe! I have never tried to make any Indian cuisine before, but this was a great Segway. My husband loved it and once you have all the ingredients it seems to be a fantastic add to the dinner rotation. We loved it, thank you so much!
I enjoyed cooking this. The recipe is simple and very easy to follow. This is my first time cooking this and I loved this. The taste was out of this world. The family absolutely loved it. Thank you from my kitchen to yours
So I never post comments on recipes. This one though, OMG! so so so good! It is better than some restaurants I have been to. I let my chicken marinate over night and I can not explain how the only thing better than the smell in my kitchen from cooking, was the taste from eating it. Hands down winner!!!
The Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. I cut the recipe in half because I was cooking for two, and I used chicken breasts which I marinated for two hours. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. This is unbelievably delicious.
I usually do not take the time to comment on recipes I find on the internet, but this one I just had to! This was absolutely delicious! I tried Chicken Tikka Masala at an upscale Indian Restaurant in Minneapolis and always wanted to try to make this dish at home. I bought the Garam Masal and forgot all about it until today. I absolutely love this recipe and it topped the one from the upscale restaurant! Perfectly cooked chicken, wonderful blend of spices! Thank you! I will make this again and again!
Thank you for sharing such an awesome and the best Tikka Masala recipe ever.
I have tried Tikka Masala in different restaurants in NZ, Australia and Fiji. Your recipe beats them all. So easy to follow and was a hit first time . I used chicken thighs and marinated it for a few hours.
For vegetable supplementation, we put the recipe over a bed of baby spinach and on top we added cauliflower rice that we sauteed with salt, pepper, and finely diced onion and chopped hazelnut, which helps sop up the extra sauce. I think steamed broccoli would be a good addition to the mix.
We do the chicken on the Weber searing it on both sides then move it away from the coals to roast it. I make the masala inside then put it in tinfoil tray and then put the chicken in it and heat it though on the bbq. Always a crowd pleaser.
I have never left a review on a recipe but this was so good, I just had to. This recipe is incredible. I added a little more Cayenne Pepper because I love spicy but the recipe is spot on. So. Darn. Good.
It would be fresh garlic and ginger in the marinade. One way to determine that is going by the amounts called for. The recipe states 1 1/2 Tbs of minced garlic, using that much dried garlic powder would leave a weird aftertaste in the dish. 1 Tb of fresh is usually equal to 1 tsp of dried, so if using garlic powder, most recipes will use teaspoons. Same goes for the ginger. Hope this helps!
OMG that has got to be one of the best things i have ever cooked, it was amazing, and i forgot to put the coriander powder in lol, i have done chicken tikka before, and i find its best if you skewer the chicken, and balance the skewers over a roasting tin and put them in the top of the oven on the highest level,on the highest heat, this gives the chicken the burnt corners you get in a tandoor, but be careful not to leave them in to long otherwise they will go dry, say about 10/15 mins, i even made my own naan breads from another recipe, and they were so good.
I felt the yogurt was a bit too much but after frying when i mixed it all in the base curry it gave it nice color and flavor! I have tried so many recipes online but this ones hands down best recipe that I have found online.
This was really wonderful even though I forgot to add the ginger and garlic to the marinade. I also used chicken breast and only maintained for 10 mins. For those that want it spicer I suggest adding green chilli peppers. Thanks for the easy recipe.
Marinated the chicken in coconut milk instead of yogurt amd added the marinade to the broth which allowed me to use less heavy cream. This was absolutely mouthwatering delicious! Better than my local indian restaurant. Make this recipe!!
OMG!!! Where do I start?! This recipe was not only so easy but so ridiculously tasty. First time trying an indian recipe and no doubt I will make this again. Recipe is very easy to follow and I do love your step by step suggestions. The house smelled amazing too ? I highly recommend this recipe 6 stars if I could. MAKE IT NOW. SOOOOO GOOOD.
One of the very very rare occasions you like a recipe from the first try. Extremely balanced and delicious, nothing to add, nothing to exclude (well, I substituted the cilantro with parsley, cilantro is not my green). Thank you, congratulations, Karine.
I cooked this for my boyfriend for our valentines dinner. We both loved it so much, it was easy to cook and so flavorsome. I left the chicken in the sauce to cook slowly over 1.5 hours which made the chicken lovely and falling apart. I also added capsicum.
Tikka Masala is our favourite curry and I have to say that this recipe turned out better than many curries that we have bought from Indian restaurants in the past. I have only just discovered this website so I will look forward to cooking more of your recipes ?
Husband and I really love it. Restaurant quality.
I did modify it a little bit tho ?
Onion, chili and coriander paste: I added after the cubes onions phase. let it cook for a bit.
added carrots as well.
then followed the recipe to the letter.( used light cream instead of full)
in the end added some fried onions and a lot of coriander( like a bunch).
once i turned off the stove, added the remainder of coriander.
it was very flavorful and tasted really good ? thank you for the recipe ?
Really enjoyed making this recipe. I think next time I will try less cream or maybe use coconut milk! I have leftovers to look forward to in the freezer! Thanks for sharing this flavorful recipe!
I tried your recipe and I am literally compelled to say that it was something which I had never tasted. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome chicken tikka masala recipe.
This recipe is EVERYTHING. This is my first time commenting on a recipe and for good reason! My partner and I absolutely LOVE this recipe. Any suggestions on meatless substitutes? If I were to substitute tofu would I need to include the yogurt in the marinade? Thanks!
I had been wanting some Indian food, and this dish satisfied that craving! Preparation was easy and the result was delicious (and economical). I may put the marinated chicken in a grill basket and cook it over an open flame for a better char next time. Excellent recipe!
Hi Karina, made your recipe tonight and it was delicious. However the yogurt seemed to split when I was frying it off. Followed the recipe to the letter but it still split. Any tips or ideas to prevent this next time? (Will definitely cook again! ) cheers
This is a restaurant quality meal! I kind of burnt the bottom of the pan while searing my chicken so the end result was more brown than red lol but it was SO much better than the chicken tikka masala recipe I had been making for years prior. It took quite a bit more preparation only because I had to debone and deskin my chicken thighs but I will 100% make this again. Hopefully for guests next time instead of just my husband and I!
Karina,
We lived in Trinidad for almost ten years and had some of the best curry ever , your recipe is now the best. Great flavour and I made nan bread as a side , new all time best dish.
Thanks again

Thank you for sharing, Jules! Garam masala contains cloves and cardamom which both taste bitter to some people, especially if the blend is heavy on those spices. You could omit, use less, or try a different brand!
I just made this dish. Very tasty. My only complaint is that it took an hour and I still have to clean up and do dishes. Till I gathered all ingredients, cut the items then made the purée it was over 30 minutes. Also took time to stop and read the recipe since I was unfamiliar with this dish. I think those who post recipes need to be more realistic for the average cook.
Hi
Love these chickpeas recipes, I am making now a big batch of chickpeas, I soaked them and am cooking now ,,,,, I will be freezing alot of this batch, after cooking, will they still be ok once thawed in your recipes?
Amazing recipe! After making it a few times made these changes that I believe made it tastier:
1. No chilli powder or pepper so my Kids (6 & 3) can eat it too (they loved it). Even with no heat the dish tastes amazing. I think it might not really need the peppers (coming from someone that loves spicy food)
2. Added a tablespoon of vegetable base and added no salt
3. Only 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes. 28oz is too much IMO
4. Added an extra can of chickpeas since otherwise it would have too much broth
5. 2 tbsp of dried fenugreek
6. Smashed the chickpeas partially at the end
