I served it with rice and bread. Of course, traditionally you would serve it with naan bread but I had made feta cheese buns for breakfast and I had a few left. It was a great combination as they are savoury and salty, and I put just a little bit of salt in my dishes at the expense of the spices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need to marinate the chicken in advance for this recipe so the best thing to do is to prepare it early in the morning and cook it in the evening, or even better &#8211; leave it in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This Chicken Tikka Masala recipe is medium hot so those of you who don&#8217;t like spicy food, can replace the chilli with sweet paprika. If you&#8217;d like to venture and try the original recipe, you can add the chilli last. Add a tiny bit at a time, stir and try, and continue doing so until you have reached the desired spicy taste. And don&#8217;t forget not to add any salt to your rice (250 g is enough for 4 portions) as it needs to be neutral and balance the hot.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6708 size-full\" title=\"Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe\" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe.png\" alt=\"Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe\" width=\"638\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-200x301.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-400x602.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-450x677.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe-600x903.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Chicken-Tikka-Masala-Recipe.png 638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Ingredients for the chicken marinate:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>600\u00a0g chicken breast fillets<\/li>\n<li>120\u00a0g yogurt<\/li>\n<li>2-3 cm ginger<\/li>\n<li>1 dried chilli (or \u00bd tsp. chilli flakes)<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0garlic clove<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tbsp. lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. mustard<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. turmeric<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. cumin<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. coriander<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. curry powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Ingredients for Chicken Tikka Masala:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>125\u00a0ml cream<\/li>\n<li>35 g spicy peanuts<\/li>\n<li>20 ml sunflower oil<\/li>\n<li>4\u00a0tbsp. tomato paste<\/li>\n<li>3-4 cm ginger<\/li>\n<li>3\u00a0garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>2 small dried chillies (or 1 tsp. chilli flakes)<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0big onion<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp. cumin<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp. coriander<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. turmeric<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd\u00a0tsp. curry powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6710 size-full\" title=\"Indian Chicken Tikka Masala\" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala.png\" alt=\"Indian Chicken Tikka Masala\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala-800x532.png 800w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Indian-Chicken-Tikka-Masala.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"> <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Ad 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8204055174938380\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2323002750\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cut the chicken breast fillets into small cubes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Peel the ginger and the garlic cloves and chop them and the dried chilli peppers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pour the yogurt into a tupperware box.
