Tikka Masala is a popular dish in Indian cuisine that consists of pieces of meat (traditionally chicken) marinated in a spice mixture called masala and cooked in a creamy tomato and spice sauce. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have originated in northern India in the 1950s and was popularized in the United Kingdom in the 1970s.
The masala used in Tikka Masala typically includes a spice mix like ours that includes Coriander, paprika, cumin, turmeric, garlic, salt, chilli, pepper, cloves, cardamom, anise . Tomato sauce is made with onion, garlic, chili, tomato paste and spices, and mixed with yogurt or cream to create a smooth and creamy sauce.
Tikka Masala is traditionally served with basmati rice and naan, an Indian flatbread. It can also be served with other accompaniments, such as raita (a yogurt dip with cucumber and spices) and chutneys (sweet or spicy sauces).
