I would love to can a base for tikka masala. Can you help me figure out if this would be safe?
I think the chicken curry recipe in the Ball book would be my starting point, but here’s the changes I would want to make:
– omit chicken (I would add this whenever I open my sauce and cook dinner with it)
– omit potatoes
– omit raisins
– substitute tomato sauce for finely chopped tomatoes (afraid this is problematic)
– slightly alter seasonings (1tsp is safe to add, right?)
– add a splash of lemon juice (assume adding acid is ok)
Other questions: when I make this sauce normally, I saute the onions. I assume I can’t do that if I can it, right?
I included the actual recipe I use for tikka masala. When ready to serve, I would add chicken, add the cream, and serve over rice. So those three ingredients would not be going in the jars I hope to can.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give!

You cant can the cream, so this ingredient is out.
