You can get tika masala spice mix in packets at a middle eastern grocery store fairly inexpensive. It has all the seasonings in the correct proportions so you don't need to measure.

[@roojothy9910]

Yeah but usually that stuff is ass compared to homemade Edit: I'm not shitting on the prepackaged spices. If you're making the recipe quickly or if you dont have time, it's pretty good. But if you're going to your local halal meats or indian market, just buying their fresh ground spices makes it better

[@saxboss1]

Okay but then you’re taking out a large amount of the skill and homemade aspect of making this at home. Why don’t I just buy masala sauce? Or then why don’t I just buy the tikka from takeout?

[@NightmareBlade10]

I don't really get why people diss prepackaged spice packages when that's all garam masala is. It's a generic spice blend, you're not buying anything special.

[@mikefun7482]

@@saxboss1 the man is just putting out a suggestion to help people. relax

[@justforkiks29]

@@saxboss1 you still have to cook it and prepare it. You can still make it your own. The seasoning packages simply have the base seasonings required to make the dish. Not everyone is in a hurry to buy all of the necessary seasonings especially if you are not making dishes like this frequently. I mean honestly what is the difference if you buy all the separate seasonings and measure them or if you buy them all together?

[@EduardoHernandez-vv8ey]

This turned out great. I had a few other spices at hand, like the cumin you mentioned and also turmeric, so I added them in. Also fried the chicken in clarified butter, which you can make easily. The next day I used the leftovers and added them in some tortillas, with some onions and cilantro, and made tika masala tacos, and they were amazing as well. Great recipe.

A great Indian chef once said that the best chicken tikka masala starts with skewered marinated chicken tikka kabob baked in the oven. It can then be added to the masala sauce and cooked more. This wouldn't add most cost, other than some more energy for the oven. However, this looks amazing!!

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

[@PaulLemars01]

One of the many benefits of having an "Indian/Pakistani/Bengali" community in your town is that there are going to be stores that cater to those communities and in those stores they sell vast amounts of the required spices inexpensively. I bought myself a box of Ball canning jars and then filled them with bags of cumin or turmeric or star anise and anything else I was advised to get. As an example, a half-pound bag of ground turmeric is around $5. Don't even get me started how much McCormics want for their little dinky ripoff jar in the local Safeway. I have a Bengali store at the end of my street and It's just the best going there. Super helpful and the best sweets/dessert counter ever.

[@earthlingsdeliciousfoodlab]

[@dfeuer]

You can get cheap spices at the Latin markets too, though the selection will be different. Everyone will have cumin. Even the regular grocery store may offer a reasonably priced pack in an ethnic foods section (here we find Badia brand).

Tried this recipe a few days ago and the curry is absolutely one of the tastiest things I've ever made in the kitchen. If it was as cheap as 2$ in my country (the ingredients cost way more) I couldn't help myself but doing this A LOT. Also I didn't blend the vegetables, I don't know if it's better with blending but having thin pieces of ginger and garlic was incredible so I think it might be better without blending.

Slight pro tip: if you're anyway getting the garam masala for this, sprinkle some on at the very end. Not an awful lot, just enough for a slight kick. Also crushing up dried fenugreek leaves and using that as a garnish would be great too, they smell incredible and are basically used as a garnish for almost every homecooked indian meal

[@markdavies6696]

Thanks...good to hear.....as long as I remember!

Is the garam masala what gives it that signature flavor? I made this but the tomato was too overpowering so it didn’t have that exact flavor. Any ideas?

[@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262]

@@joshcookzAdd more garam masala and cream or butter. If the tomato is too tangy or sour add some sugar or baking soda. I found compared to the indian takeout places I go to this turned out a little more sour and less creamy, and the takeout butter chicken gravy was slightly sweet. I asked an indian friend but he said it's not really something they make at home so i'm going by the takeout places and the dominant flavors were the indian spices and creaminess/richness imo.

[@NaziaAslam-mr1cg]

Yes add big tablespoon of some double Concentrated tomatoes paste and replace tinned tomatoes with fresh tomatoes without the skin (if you score and sit tomatoes in hot water covered with the heat and residual steam the skin should peel away nicely) and some passatta and a little sugar to counteract the tart tanginess of the tomatoes . Also omit half the cream with yoghurt but make sure u whisk it and then add it on a low heat and keep mixing so it doesn’t curdle x

I'm Indian and this is a very simple and quick recipe. I use a touch of garam masala at the end and some in the marinade.

[@matthewsteimel4072]

Great recipe! I've made it a few times and found some alterations that make it even more convenient (for me at least): I prefer to cook the chicken under the broiler instead of on the stove, because every time I've tried to pan fry it I end up with a thick layer of blackened spices on the bottom of my pan. As a bonus, it also makes it quicker since you can cook the chicken and the sauce at the same time I prefer a higher ratio of sauce to meat than the original recipe gives, and I can only get 28oz cans of tomatoes where I live, so I've been doubling every ingredient except the chicken and it turns out perfectly

[@Manchupacabra]

I also had the issue with blackened spices in the pan. How long do you usually broil it for?

I made this today for me and my girlfriend while we were camping. It's really really nice and I 100% recommend. But a word of warning for British people and those with weak stomachs, this is much hotter than any tikka masala you'd get in the UK. I wasn't expecting that and it was quite a shock, though I'm not sure how much of it was my fault since we didn't have enough chopped tomatoes.

You need to add a touch of water when adding and cooking the spices. We never toast the spices, it leads to bit of an acrid, burnt taste in the end product.

[@ryubimaru]

one of my fav recipes of all time, the classic chicken tikka. I have had many types over the years ranging from store bought jars as a kid, to armature attempts to make it from scratch during the families 'healthy' phase, to taking the apron up myself and achieving something that tasted better than the restaurant. And this is a wonderfuly simple base to get started on your journey to discovering your own personal spice blend, 10/10. That said something i have heard about from others mocking this channel is that the 'price per portion' is misleading or that the 'but betters' are "only" because they inflate the price to a ridiculous degree (both of which anyone who actually watches Josh will agree is wrong) I feel like these would benefit from adding text regarding the number of servings for the recipe and total cost for reference, (like the other overlays so not just something said incase someone is not as good with English or else watching on mute - for some reason?) as this would help put in perspective the Ratio of the amount you spend to the number of people your feeding. Sorry if that came across awkwardly but its only a suggestion I love all your content (and bought your book right when first anounced plus an extra for a family gift and they love it too, also love the creative plugs, they never fail to get a chuckle), I keep telling people they are misunderstanding when i hear them say it but sometimes people are just dumb or follow what they think everyone else is saying.

Life hack for any Indian recipe: 1. Pick a recipe(s) you enjoy eating and might make over and over again 2. Walk into an India Grocery store and buy a dedicated spice mix(es) for the recipe(s), you'll find spice mixes for most popular recipes there, for much much cheaper. So, instead of buying a whole pantry of spices and guessing the proportions and risking messing up, now you'll have a spice mix(es), with proper proportions for the recipe you're gunning for and it'll taste better & on par with your local restaurant if not better (and also spice mix boxes often have recipes on the back). TL:DR Buy a recipe specific spice mix if you only make one India dish over and over

Josh, how come when you do “But Cheaper” you only count the cost on individual serving sizes, but when you do your “cheap vs expensive”, you count the cost of all the ingredients?

[@jesusherrera8705]

The main purpose of a show like but cheaper is to show you how much a serving costs so you can do a cost comparison to a serving in a restaurant. In cheap vs expensive the point is for you to learn the difference of ingredients used in making let's say a hamburger and for you to make a conscious decision if that ingredient is worth spending money on. Two totally different concepts.

When I make curry, typically similar to this, I leave out the soap weed spice and STILL tend to have around 8 spices, not including the fresh garlic and ginger. But you can't really find garham masala without coriander so this is how I started making it. If you are trying to cut back your expenses by cooking at home, using basic ingredients, and hopefully eating healthier, do yourself a favor and spend that little bit extra on a handful of spices to keep around. It will greatly help out your enjoyment of what you are eating and bring a lot of variety to your food even if you are making just about the same things a lot. Find a local store that does bulk spices and you can tend to get them a bit cheaper even, or get the ones you use a lot in slightly larger bulk at the store. They don't have to be the fancy ones, get what you can afford and learn to use them.

and actually use them instead of letting them expire like so many ppl do, such a sad waste soap weed spice lol it must be horrible to have to go thru life with that taste bud glitch, i can't imagine

[@JohnA...]

@@dollface1160 Its annoying because cilantro and coriander are in so many things these days. Almost all hispanic and american dishes use them now, of course any type of curry you are supposed to have them, etc. What is even worse I'm one of the 1/4 of people who are "super tasters" as well so it doesn't take much for me to notice a spice in whatever I'm eating and its very hard to cover it up. The universe was like "Oh yeah, you get to be special... but you aren't going to like the results".

Yo! You should have mentioned Paneer Butter Masala as a vegetarian option of this.

[@NatashaEh]

He's made it pretty clear before that he's not a fan of vegetarian food lol
