Recipe Summary Chef John's Chicken Tikka Masala

I probably get more requests for Indian food than any other ethnic cuisine, so I was very excited to be posting this recipe for chicken tikka masala; until I found out it's actually a British recipe. This is usually done with heavy cream, but I like to use coconut milk instead; the subtle sweetness it provides works beautifully with the spices in the dish. Serve with steamed rice.

Ingredients | Chicken Casserole Recipes Uk

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee), or more as needed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger, or more to taste
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
  • ½ cup chicken broth, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Directions

  • Place chicken in a bowl and drizzle vegetable oil over chicken; toss to coat.
  • Whisk kosher salt, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cardamom together in a small bowl. Season chicken with spice mixture and turn to coat evenly.
  • Melt clarified butter in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Cook chicken thighs in hot butter until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. When cool enough to handle, cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • Reduce heat under the skillet to medium-high. Stir onion into skillet; saute until onion softens and turns translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir. Saute until paste caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic and ginger into tomato-onion mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend and sauce is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir chicken, any accumulated juices from the chicken, cilantro, and red pepper flakes into tomato mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • You can substitute tomato puree for the crushed tomatoes, if desired. You can also use 1 2/3 cups heavy whipping cream instead of the coconut milk.
