    Looks really good! Served with a side of naan and some basmati and you’ve yourself a gourmet meal

    Nice! Looks delicious! Chicken Tikka Masala is one of those dishes that always feels like a little project but totally worth it when the sauce hits just right

  4. Looks more like Butter Chicken, which is even better.

    Looking at the recipe your posted, it is indeed closer to Butter Chicken than Tikka Masala. I think the only thing you’re missing to make it butter chicken instead is that you didn’t fry the spices in the hot oil briefly prior to the onions (you added them after the onions) and I’m not sure if you pureed the onions, garlic, and spice mixture before adding the rest of the sauce ingredients.

    Despite the name Tikka Masala sounding more Indian, Butter Chicken is the older Indian recipe. Tikka Masala is a slightly different British Indian dish.

    Looks amazing. I used a different recipe for this last night and it wasn’t great haha.. definitely saving yours for next time.

    Looks great, if you want to avoid Heavy Cream, add cashew paste(well, if no allergies)
