Topic: Chewy's Chicken Tikka Masala - CTM

Chicken Tikka Masala
Here's a simple one, to keep the woman and kids happy.

My take on this popular restaurant dish. Don't agree with the modern trend of having
too much coconut or coconut only flavoured CTM

I know some chefs that don't use coconut at all, Almond powder all the way, which harks back to the early days. 80s
Doing this in the restaurant only takes 4mins to get the same creamy texture.

Be interesting, if seasoned members could guess what goes into the red masala paste and sauce.
cheers Chewy

Nice one Chewy.

Although I always use coconut in my CTM, my recollections of this dish has always been that of it being heavy on almond. I'm glad your statement agrees with this!

Thanks for the post Chewy. I will have a look at your vid from home

Hi chewy... excellent vids mate..  Any chance of sharing how to make those pastes 

[Stephen Lindsay]

Great vid Chewy, as I recall you were the first on here to do vids and they remain unbeatable IMHO.

Paste and sauce  Mmmmmmmm

red colouring  ;D

Paste   The 3 pataks plus almonds and the powders

sauce    Yoghurt blended fruit cocktail and some lemon juice 

and some other things     must be a pickle in there somewhere

Cheers,
