I live in the U.S.  (Northwestern Indiana, to be exact).  I love tikka 
masala that I get in restaurants, but can't afford to go to them as much as 
I like.  The nearest one in 45 minutes away, besides.  I have tried a 
variety of recipes, but without a lot of success.  Does anyone have a good 
recipe for me to attempt?

Thanks
Tom

Hi,

Speaking as someone who's cooked Indian food for the last 30 years I found 
the cr0.co.uk site a bit confusing, and has an emphasis on British Indian 
food (fyi the UK's favourite food is Indian!).

This site is very good:-

http://www.indianfoodforever.com/

BTW in India no-one has heard of Chicken Tikka Masala, or Bombay Potato, 
purely a British invention!

Regards,


Charles

Forgot to mention, as Chicken Tikka Massala is a "contrived / invented" 
restaurant dish, here in the UK our supermarkets are full of Indian cook in 
sources. Not that I would use any of them as a matter of preference. 
However! The Tikka Masala sauces available are pretty much the same as you 
would get in a restaurant (though as explained, not in New Delhi). You could 
pretty much replicate the restaurant dish using marinated chicken, i.e. 
chicken tikka (which you can get in New Delhi) and mixing it with the 
source, should be an acceptable result, if not better than your NW Indiana 
Restaurant.

Regards,



Charles

Forgot to mention again, getting late, too much cider, can you get "Indian" 
sources in the supermarkets over there?

Erm...

Yes they have.

But neither tastes like the dishes served in the UK.

There's a lot of movement between the UK and India,  especially chefs who 
usually go to the UK on a five year visa.

Time for tea.

Butter Chicken is certainly better but pretty close to Chicken 
Tikka Masala. Both them have a ghee content that I will not 
mention!

Yes, it was 10 years ago since I was in India.

Try out the following link for Chicken Tikka Masala. If you have any
problems, you can post it in this thread and I will try to see if I
can be of further help.
