What Is Chicken Tikka Masala?<\/h2>\n

If you’re not familiar with Tikka Masala, it’s a traditional Indian dish that consists of meat (usually chicken, lamb or shrimp) that is cooked in a hot clay oven (tandoor oven), then finished in a rich and creamy sauce (or curry) that’s amped up with loads of spices.<\/p>\n

The main spice, which gives the dish it’s name is Garam Masala<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garam Masala is a blend of different spices like: coriander, black pepper, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon. It has a slightly nutty and sweet taste to it. Very unique!<\/p>\n
