Prepare the chicken marinade. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well to form a smooth paste. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes prep + 3 hours marinating - 2
Cook the chicken. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200ยฐC / 400ยฐF) or your oven to 220ยฐC (425ยฐF). Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers if grilling, or spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if baking. Grill or bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and has slightly charred, smoky edges. Set aside.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 3
Make the sauce base. Heat the vegetable oil or ghee in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sautรฉ until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp garam masala and cook for another minute until fragrant.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 4
Build the sauce. Add the tomato purรฉe (or passata) to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomato flavor to deepen. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 5
Combine and finish. Add the cooked chicken pieces to the simmering sauce. Stir gently to coat the chicken. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper if needed. The sauce should be rich and creamy.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 6
Serve. Ladle the Chicken Tikka Masala into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti.

- โThis dish is a classic example of British culinary adaptation of Indian cuisine.
- โFor a restaurant-style finish, consider adding a swirl of extra cream or a pinch of fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) to the sauce.
- โMarinating the chicken for longer, even up to 24 hours, will result in more tender and flavorful chicken.

- For a spicier version, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a fresh green chili to the sauce.
- Substitute chicken with paneer (Indian cheese) or firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Add a tablespoon of ground almonds or cashew paste to the sauce for extra creaminess and richness.
