Easy Chicken Tikka Masala

Easy Chicken Tikka Masala


1. Make your spice blend: Put the cardamom seeds, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin and pepper flakes in a spice grinder and -- grind.

2. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet. Saute onions until they begin to caramelize.

3. Add garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

4. Add your spice blend, ginger, garam masala (if using) and paprika.

5. Stir everything together until it's well combined and let it all mix together in the skillet for a few minutes.

6. Add tomatoes and water and stir everything together. Turn your heat down and simmer for about 10-15 minutes - it will thicken up a little and reduce.

7. Whisk the yogurt into the sauce, then add the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter and the half and half, and whisk everything together.

8. When the sauce is simmering again, add the chicken pieces and let it simmer until they are completely cooked.(about 10 minutes).

9. Serve over rice, hopefully with some kind of bread to sop up all the sauce.
