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 Chef Niverville Coupons

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.
