chicken tikka masala

This is a good recipe but definitely not authentic Indian chicken curry, for authentic Indian recipe's visit this blog http://eatwithmeshrimoyee.wordpress.com/<br />

Hi,everyone you can try the new way of making this recipe by clicking on the following link. <br /> http://techreo.blogspot.in/2012/04/chicken-tikka-masala.html

This is an AAAWWWSSSOOOMMMEEE recipe.<br /> LONG LIVE OLIVER. LONG LIVE OLIVER!!!!!!!!!! :)

the recipe was great!this one and the chili con carne are 2 of are favorite dishes!xx from holland

Fail. First time Jamie has let me down.

I made this one, it really was tasty, my husband and son both enjoyed it too, a little more fiddly than im used to, but then again im a bit lazy :) I certainly would make this again, many thanks for the recipe

where's the cumin? my fave spice!

This was an unreal recipe,i followed it from scratch,step by step,and its definitely up there as being as nice as any take away ive ever had.long live Oliver!!!

I dont like your chicken tikka masla receipe. Please find a much better recipe at :http://www.homeandgardenideas.com/food-recipes/indian/main-dishes/cooking-chicken-tikka-masala<br /> Its a lovely disg when cooked properly and I think marinade time can be reduced to 30-60 minutes. Just some extra lime juice is need to spice a fast marinade.

who cares if it's authentic or not, it's delicious. If you're use to Indian takeaway Tikka Masala....it's probably the ground up cockroaches giving it the "authentic" taste!!!

i like your cooking style so much but sorry to say that its nt even close to chicken tikka masala....

load of rubbish. not intersted, they say your cooking is simple. i do not agree.

amazing recipe jamie:) appreciate it babycakes xxxxxx<br />

Thanks jamie, this was a lush dish. It also helped me with my ict coursework. love you! :) xxxxxxxxxx

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe...my husband said it didnt taste like curry?? Just like a hot(ish) tomato chicken spice dish. i have gone over and over the recipe and instructions to see if I did anything different but cant see that I have. Oh well..the Korma recipe worked just perfect for me but I wont be using this one again.

Nice, but I found it was better if I stuck the onions/peppers/spices/tomatoes/yogurt in the blender and liquify it into a nice creamy sauce that I add the chicken/marinade to

thank you, this dish was delicious and it helped me deside what i was going to cook at school for food tech.

I made this dish it turned out nice but it seemed to be very sweet and it overpowered the spice. I was wandering was it because I didn't train the juice from the tin of plum tomatoes I just put it all in, if the juice was drained I wander would it have been less sweet.????

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM tucking in to my tikka masala right now its lush. Sorry tweeked the recipe a bit being a chef myself and needing to make it a bit more child freindly. took out peppers and chili and added sugar to taste. mmmmmmmmmmm.

I've made this dish a few times its a rand curry. Some one said about it being to watery, you need to reduce the sauce a fair bit before you put the chicken in.

Bonzo - you should always taste it yourself and season as appropriate...not too hard!<br /> <br /> Fwiw - having two young children we use very little salt (it's supposed to be bad for them) and as a result i now find far less seasoned food quite savoury. It's still a bit mental not to taste it before serving though...

Just cooked this... Looked really nice but I was a touch concerned that it doesn't mention salt anywhere on the recipe. Sure enough the curry turned out fairly tasteless. Anyone else experience this?

Made this last weekend and it was yum! Thank you!

My hubby invited friends over for " a curry" & I panicked because I have I have never cooked one, other than out of a jar, because I do not normally like curry but this was fantasic. My friends said it was delicious. I was so pleased with it that I invited the neighbors around another night & cooked it again. They don't normally eat curry, but I have converted them also! Thanks soo much Jamie, cant wait to make it again !

did recipe to exact description ended up with a pan of boiling c%xp???????????????????? where did i go wrong gonna have to get hubby to sort it out with a take away plz help<br /> <br />

i think this iz a fab recipe

Love to cook your recipes, but could you please add how many people each recipe will feed? Thanks.

who cares its NOT chicken tikka masala.....it tastes lovely and is simple to make. I will certainly be making again very soon......x

All my family love this recipe including me, But i find once the mrinated chicken goes into the cream,yougurt and tomato mixture the flavors are lost from the marinated chicken. I am cooking this again tomorow so i am going to grill the marinaded chicken 1st and cook the sauce separately then add the marinated chicken to the sauce for a few minutes before serving and see if there is more of a kick. Still love the original recipe though :))

filth..... your spelling, language and attitude is also shocking!!!

ofcourse this is not Tikka. didnt expect it from Jams....Spices could vary to taste but Tikka after overnight marination needs to be either grilled or for perfect taste made in tandoor (clay oven).<br /> prepare your curry sauce separate and add tikka in the end to it....simmer it for a little while...<br />

I agree, this is not a Tikka Masala but more like a Chicken Masala.<br /> <br /> Also it seems like there is a lot of redundant ingredients which already is present in the Garam Masala(ex, cinammon, ground coriander) so adding these extras must be only to enhance those flavors in this certain dish, but as Garam Masala can be a variety of mixed spices it might be that you dont need to enhance those flavors. <br /> <br /> Its already written in some of the comments but to make Tikka you need to grill or bake the marinated chicken often placed on wooden skewers. I think that the high temperature from baking it ensures that the chicken get cooked fast and tense to give a less dry chicken and more tasty chicken.<br /> <br /> I have not tested this recipe but the sauce sounds nice, but somehow i really doubt that this recipe is written by Jamie O.<br /> <br /> <br />

Not really Chicken Tikka - the chicken needs to be grilled or bbq'd for that mate. It was delicious though. Found a great one for madras here http://www.madrasrecipe.com/chicken-madras-recipe double tasty and pretty easy to make.

http://coeurdecuisine.blogspot.com/2011/04/pollo-tikka-masala.html<br /> This is my Chicken Tikka Masala; with some modifications.

I tried this recipe a few months ago, it was nice. Last week I tried out bipins surti curry paste, its the only fresh curry paste I've come across, added it to diced chicken, little tomato puree cooked for 20 minutes and folded in single cream at the end. ....it was aromatic, very very tasty, easy to make and didn't have to do all the preparation. ....the fresh curry paste website is www.bipins.co.uk. Eat your heat out Tikka Masala lovers! Its best one I've ever had.

Hello ^^ I really enjoyed all the different flavors and spices. the tomatoes add an interesting and savory dimension ;) i must not be doing something correctly but i never get the runny curry happening, it's always dried up and thick? >.

Great receipe, tastes great and very simple to make.

ok i am trying to print this recipe only everytime i do the Job center plus advert is right over and hiding the instructions, does anyone have any idea how i can stop/get rid of this?

I made this for the first time on Sunday for 6 people, I doubled the quantity of this recipe and served with basmati rice and a few chips.
It was really nice!!! Probably the nicest curry I have ever tasted! Will definitely make this again!
There were no left-overs and it went down really well!!
Thank you Jamie!!! :)

I loved this recipe. I put more than a pinch of the spices at the advice of one of the commenters, and it came out just perfect. The sauce wasn't terribly thick but it wasn't runny either; it went well with a nice brown rice, which soaked it up and was irresistible. I had to finish the whole dish, down to the last bite!

Well I am a big fan of Jamie and I am sure this dish will be great...bt to all those complainin chicken tikka masala is with gravy and masala does not mean gravy it means mixture of spices which are not always gravy,

and chicken tikka masala is not a western dish, it was invented in Bangladesh just so you all know.

and there are many tikka masala dishes in India which I love to eat!

and Jamie you are the best :) I love all your recipes!!!!

I have just made the chcken tikka masala, it tastes good but i think i did go wrong some where. It is more of a chicken curry and not a chicken tikka if you know what i mean.

Can you translate this recipe in german?

hi jamie is there some way you can double the ingredients to make bigger amounts for a bigger groups of people?

Nope this is not Tikka Masala. Yes it may be true that Tikka masala is not a genuine authentic Indian dish but it exists now by virtue of the British curry house so a standard is set. Sorry jamie but this does not make the grade.

fantastic food totaly enjoyed it, love the food and watching your programmes, my other half always gets me to record the programs and try the recipes.
Keep up the programs and all the good work.

i love curry and i love jamie but i didnt enjoy this... though i did tweak it a bit nevertheless still lovey ya jme xxxxx

Yes, I enjoyed this recipe, I live alone so amounts above were enough for a meal tonight and one for later in the week. Took me 5 mins to prepare last night and half an hour to actually make this afternoon.

Only problem is yogurt and double cream is sold in 200ml minimum so to vary my diet and keep my waistline to a minimum, I'll probably sling what's left - not good on my pocket

I added some extra chillies to give it more of a kick and served with basmati and plain naan.

mmmmmm just yummy j. thanks a bunch we all loved it a good family meal! xxxx

thanks jamie one of the best currys i have had in a long time . i only did one thing different i put 2 chillis in only because i like it hot baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

I just made this for my husband and sisters-in-law and they liked it a lot. I did add more vegetable units (more peppers and onions, that is) and my husband did the shopping so he got me creme fraiche with 18% fat, which was a bit off xD

However, the marinade and spices came out brilliant. Thanks for sharing :)

ab fab recipe! easy to make and delicious, one of the best I got from this site. Only changes I made were using a whole red chili peper and keeping the seeds, but this made it very spicy, so only for those who can handle it. Keep up the good work!

great recipe Jamie :)
FOR YOUGHURT THAT CURDLES
try and use full fat youghurt as light yogurt always seems to curdle and make sure that the youghurt is at room temperature before you use it as it may curdle if it's cooked straight from the fridge.

Jamie,
This recipe is Pukka and im definatly going to show 3 mates how to cook it!! i want to be your apprentice!
Tom

From South Africa. Will try this one

if the curry comes out watery its usually because you've used chicken that's been plumped up with water as happens with cheaper products.i got the same problem when i made a curry at a friend's house and they had bought value chicken.

I tried making this with... Mixed results :)
I had to tweak it quite a bit to get a satisfactory result...
I'd recommend the following:

Use 500g of tomatoes instead - it's just too thick even with cream added otherwise.
The piches for spice? Yeah - forget pich, think 2-3 teaspoons of each. :)
Also, add some garam masala to the finished product to taste - otherwise it was just too bland for me.

Pretty decent, though

ittt waaa sooo nice OMG it was delicious thanks jamie had it for xmas too really nice

I made this, but for some reason it was watery, I followed the instructions word for word except for heavy cream I used heavy whipping cream. I don't know what I did wrong and I would really like to enjoy it as much as all of you. Can someone please tell me how to make it thick or what I did wrong? Plus it wasn't like the picture were it was a think layering on the chicken. SOMEONE PPPLLEASSSE HELP!

Having to watch cholestral, I tried this using light cream, low fat yogurt and it still turned out good. Thx.

Just made this for our tea tonight! My teenage son who is normaly a very fussy eater woofed this down. Try home-made naan with cumin seeds and raisins and as a dip, yoghurt, paprika and lime juice. Very, very yummy - all of it!!!!

Hi, jamie
I cooked this recipe.... it was so delicious and my family also like it..
thank you again..
Your recipes like always nice....

This is a great recipe! I have tried it as well as many of your recipes; the only problem is that i am from Romania and some of the spices you use are not to be found in my country, or better said are harder to find and quite expensive. I love your shows and i am happy to tell you that you have changed the way i cook. Keep up the good work! All the best, Dana!

try grilling your chicken pieces on a wet skewer until they blacken slightly it will taste even better

We have been watching your program and are going to start a ministry of food in the local youth club at lydney in the forest of dean.

Hi Jamie....this recipe was fantastic and i have cooked it over and over again....its the same taste as the tikka masala as i tasted in london nothing different....but it was so easy to do....love ur recipes
thanks a million XD

Thank you Jamie I am grateful you have shared your knowledge with us with this reciepe. I now dont have to buy pastes shop bought and am now enabled to just look in my kitchen cupboard with the knowledge of what I can smack up tonight and she'll be right on the night, You Beauty Good On Ya Mate!!! No good having all these herbs & spices in the cupboard unless you know how to use them!!!!!!! Right?

i cannot cook at all but looking through these delicious looking dishs i think that i may have to cook!!!

Thanks so much for this recipe. My girlfriend just loved it. Well at the time she ate it she wasn`t my girlfriend yet. So you might just have helped me a little on that one. Thank you so much. I`ll be stalking your site from now one. It`s just brilliant.
Going to start my first year of cooking school in 2 months, and hopefully I will be atleast half as good as you.

what you have to remember the currys you buy from takeaways are mass made crap with often packaged, tinned products, nothing will taste better than a freshly prepared curry.
ive never bought a curry since making a chicken curry with a recipe from an asian friend.

i have tried curries with yogurt in the past, but the yogurt always seems to curdle... can ayone help me?

Hey Jamie

Love this recipe. Tried it a while ago from your book - didn't it have mustard seeds in it? Anyway, it's still a favorite of mine - love it with chutney and nan bread.

just to clarify , chicken tikka masala is usually marinated in the same way as tandoori chicken or tandoori tikka chicken for at least 24 hours. it is then half cooked in the tandoor and sliced lengthways (always use thigh not breast as it is jucier) . Jamie is right on the money with the red and green peppers and tons of fresh coriander..... but , he seems to have turned it into more of a butter chicken masala by using the cream and tomato puree except a butter chicken would usually have cashews and/or almonds also .
a tikka masala is usually a drier curry ( less sauce)
anyway, jamie is golden when it comes to curries and i'm sure he is aware of the bastardisation of the dish.

hi there! can anyon explain me what is double cream? i just cant find any translation for it... what is made of? paulohasse@gmail.com Thank you so much!!
Jamie you should have this site in a portuguese version... it would be great for a lot of admirers... I can translate it if you like ;)

beef curry? fling the chicken, dump in some beef!! simple.

Hi Jamie! This recipe for tikka masala was simply amazing. my husband was very impressed with it, i did it as we got back from honeymoon, left chicken to marinade in fridge over night.while my husband was in bed all the next day threw it all together! we love it! thanks and keep up your amazing work.

Hi jamie,
Iv been thinkin about that BBQ sauce you made on one of your programs aired in Ireland over the past couple of months and Id love to try it. Iv had many google attempts for it but to no avail!! You did ribs with it. It sounds so wholesome!
Im a big fan of cooking and would love to surprise my boyfriend for our 3 year anniversary next week with it!! Im sure it would work wonders with some meats on the barbeque too!! Please can you send me the recipe??
Your an inspiration in my house and I personally love the foods you cook
Ali.

Hi everyone! Darn it Jamie...finally I've found a brownie recipe from a chef I really trust with food! It would be nice if you posted a lovely Malva pudding recipe! I'll give the brownies a try and see what I get.

Hey, your cooking inspires me ALOT!! Kind regards

Chris

Does anyone know where I will find the recipe for the beef wrapped in proscuitto?

Last year you made rib on your Jamie at home program ( Australia) my hubby was drooling over the screen so much I didn't get to copy down the recipe. Can you help ?

Thanks
Bracor

does anyone have the recipe for leg of lamb in red wine - long slow roast.

Hello

Does anyone have a recipe for a brilliant beef curry?

does anyone have jamies recipe for bbq ribs ?

what about bacon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have Jamie's recipe for slow roasted beef fillet? I know you have to marinade it in herbs & balsamic,& cook for 4hrs? Not really sure though,& weight to time ratio?

Hi Jamie, it´s Erika from Spain. There´s a programm on the tv, in the andalucian channel that shows your programm. It would be great if you could visit Andalucia and make a live-programm!
Thank you to make us love cooking.
Kisses

i need some taste low fat meal for all the family .....my child and me have just planted some coriander and basil plants and we dont have a clue what to make with the coriander and basil well what dishes so do you think you could give me tips on that and tasteeee veg what i could do in my steamer.

I am trying to find a recipe Jamie did on TV a while ago - It was a roast let of lamb done with Rosemary and olive oil and covered in foil and baked for 4 hours. I would like to do this for my daughter's birthday.. He also did some delicious baked vegies to go with it. Could you help, I have been searching through all the recipes but to no avail. Thankyou, regards Pam.

I had a BBQ sauce recipe that I got from a TV show I saw in Holland and have lost it. It was awesome and wondered if you could send it to me -- Jamie did chicken, pork, ribs in it and it had a bottle of ketchup, half bottle of balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, worchester sauce, can't remember much else. Anyway, if I could get it again, it would be amazing. Thank you,
Megan Faulkner

Please help. We saw you make a recipe using juniper berries, it sounded delicious. We searched all over Tasmania for the berries and now we've lost the recipe. It's so good to see you happy and enthusiastic again

Regards
Carol

the best curry ever by far!!!!

While tikka masala is a Western dish, a big component is the chicken being grilled, hence the "tikka". I am a big fan of Chicken Tikka, but not so much the masala sauce added afterward. The recipe as described is a chicken masala curry, and really shouldn't have the word "Tikka" in the name. But that is just nit-picking and doesn't affect the end result in any way.

This seemed rather bland. I added more of the spices hoping to liven it up. Will definitely use much more chili next time and take the advise of BM to grill the chicken first and include the yogurt in the marinade. Hopefully this will make it a curry rather than chicken in gravy.

Well i made this as i said i would and it was absolutly lovely and soooo easy to.
Cheers Jamie.

Hey, I'm vegan so I'll be making this with tofu..quick question, do you think I should soak the tofu, or maybe the veggies in the marinade to help get the full flavour?

Thanks in advance :)

This turned out to be excellent and easy. I am lost on the comments about “authentic” chicken tikka masala. What does it matter ? if there were such a thing probably half the ingredients wouldn’t be in the supermarket. Here’s something, authentic or not that just tastes great and is easy to do. A full 24 hours in the fridge really did it to get the taste right through the chicken. Would suggest slightly less yogurt and cream – a common sense judgment on covering it as opposed to drowning it. I think I had 100 ml yogurt and only about 50 ml cream – or something like that.

What the heck is all this about..... i thought we were supposed to be chatting about Chicken Tikka masala........

This recipe looks yum, im cooking for three on friday (23rd feb) so will give this a go.

Havent tried this recipe but make curry at least once a fortnight. If I am organised, i make my own masala (sauce), if I am not use Pataks or Sharwoods pastes/sauces.

Always start the night before and de-skin the chicken, score ot with kitchen scissors and put on those disposable latex gloves to massage the masala and yogurt mix into the flesh- saves orange hands. Then, it's into the fridge overnight with a few massages-zip-lock bags are great for marinades that are not "too liquidy". Make naan and sambals (sides) the next day.
Baste chicken with left-over marinade prior to cooking-since I am lazy, that usually means a couple of massages in the zip-lock bag.

I either bake the chicken in the oven or bbq it. Think, from own experience, baking works best. Baste it with the marinade left in the bag whilst cooking.

*Tip; I cook my "tikka" or "tandoori" (since I dont own a tandoor in a Scanpan with a rack. For easy cleanup, I spray the rack and the inside of the pan with oil. Baked on youghurt and masala is an absolute pain to clean up, otherwise.

Make naan and when "tikka" or "tandoori" is almost ready, preheat the griller/broiler (lined with Alfoil) and put in the teardrop naan. Dont leave the kitchen! They burn very quickly. Use Madhur Jaffery's recipe for naan. Always (almost) add a couple of cloves, minced, to the recipe and top with kalonji/nigella seeds.

Hope this has been of help :D

Made this last night. Absolutely superb and not too spicy. Didn't grill the chicken first. 20 mins simmering in the sauce and it melts in the mouth. Garam masala smells so good! I'm looking forward to making this again. Next time I'll remember to slice up the chicken before I marinade!

yes ive seen this recipe on another site and on there it did say grill the chicken.

gona try it tonight : )

I hope this is a good recipe, I'm going to make it at school for my mum and my brother. Any tips?

i hope this recipe works im cooking for my mum and dad on saturday because i never cook at home but i do cooking at school.

jut about to cook this dish and was thinking that the chicken should be grilled before going n the dish cheers bm.as for ians comments dont be so rude cooking is meant to be fun and a learning process and i think jamie shows that in his programs.

Someone has borrowed my book and i'm trying to find the correct instructions. I've used this recipe in his book before and there seems to be vital instructions missing here e.g. half the spice should be used for the marinade (using the yogurt too), then make the sauce. The main missing instruction though is grilling the chicken before adding into the sauce. It would be more enjoyable if this is updated with full instructions, as I've made it a few times and it's damn tasty!!

thanks to ian for pointing out the MASALA part of this dish....nonces. and does hally have a bbq or grill?? cause im poor and dont...and thats the whole point of Jamie Oliver...he makes these recipes so we can make them easily.

I am probably the biggest curry lover ever & this was outstanding! The best home made curry recipe I have ever tried.
Thanks x

To all the people who have written that this isn't 'real' tikka masala - there is no such dish as tikka masala in India, yes tikka means grilled smart arse but masala means sauce... this dish was invented in the west - and IS a curry.

This wasnt the real "indian" tikka masala...but yeah close to chicken with thick gravy. nevertheless tasted delicious.

While, this did taste good I am uncertain it is a 'real' tikka masala;-) Or was I just unable to make the recipe correctly - I don't know.....

This recipe was delicious. I live in a small town in southern Spain and it is very hard to find most ingrediants required in curries. This was simple and so much better then the canned curries. Thanks Jamie

definitely NOT chicken tikka masala..tikka means grilled or bbq pieces of chicken..this one looks like curry or cream chicken
