Topic: CA's Simple Chicken Tikka Masala

[Cory Ander]

Made this tonight for the Mrs & daughter & worked out really good for a surprisingly lightly spiced dish.
 (not done any curries for a while been too busy working)

thanks CA

Hi Will,

Glad you liked it.  Which curry base and spice mix did you use?

[Cory Ander]

I'm going to make this later, just have one question, it looks very orangey which I like, and I know that the tandoori masala you use have both red and yellow food colouring in, but did you use any orange food colouring in the final dish please? 

Hi 976bar,

Nope; just what was in the tandoori masala and in the tandoori marinade (i.e. for marinating the chicken tikka)

Thanks CA,

I'll post some pictures later

Hi CA,

I used your base & spice mix (not the simple base your normal one)

I made CA's Chicken Tikka Masala tonight, albeit I used Taz's Base, because that is what I had and I used Natco Tandoori Masala, again because that is what I had...

To achieve the same orangy colour I needed to add orange food colouring as Natco tandoori masala is kinda redish, and having made this I tasted it and for me there was something missing, so  added 1 tbsp tomato puree diluted in 3 tbsp water.

The kids devoured this and absolutely loved it.

Thanks for the post CA, top notch!!

Bob,

My recipe is very similar to this with, added diluted tom puree.........how bizarre?

Hi Ray,

I must've missed you're post along the way, can you point me in the right direction please

Hi Bob,

I haven't posted a CTM on the forum and this is why;

I don't like CTM per se, and I'm not a fan of Korma either, I just don't like creamy curries but my wife does.  This is just my version to keep her sweet, and I wouldn't know if it truly replicates a 'proper' BIR CTM?

I'd feel a bit silly posting it now because it just looks like I've taken CA's recipe and added a little extra
