How To Make Chicken Tikka Masala

Chintan Pandya of restaurants Adda, Rahi, and Dhamaka in NYC is in the Munchies Test Kitchen to whip up (and unpack) a controversial “Indian” dish: chicken tikka masala. This dish, a staple on Western Indian restaurant menus, has dubious origins despite its widespread popularity and Chintan breaks down how to make it at home. He explains how to make each of the three main components: tender yogurt-marinated chicken thighs, creamy makhni gravy, and a spicy onion and tomato masala.

If you’re going to make this: do not use American Chili Powder. Your curry will taste like chili (the soup kind). He is using Kashmiri chili powder which is much closer to a mix of cayenne/paprika if you can’t find it

[@anujpramanik1819]

Cayenne is actually a lot hotter. Kashmiri chili powder is kinda like smoked paprika, which is why he was able to use so much of it...

@John Wayne safe in most cases , health benefits are dubious and not backed by any scientific studies , as you mentioned it shouldn't be had in excess or in special cases. Too many indians purport importance to vegetables regardless of effects , either it is the most beneficial of herbs/legumes or it will kill you in various ways.

[@torreykat]

"in amounts greater than those used in food" so don't make an herbal tea, don't roll it and smoke it, don't tuck wads of it under your tongue and chew it all day. Otherwise, it's okay.

15 years I have been working on my CTM recipe and I just made this. I followed the recipe exactly regarding ingredients, (even the hard to find food grade mustard oil, most are for massage) but strayed from the recipe on one step. After cooking the chicken in the oven I turned the oven to broil to get some color and caramelization on the chicken. I learned this from another youtuber Sanjay from Vahrehvah. This gives the hint of smokiness to the chicken! This dish came out soo good! Better than some restaurants SF bay area. The only thing I will do different next time is bump the tomato flavor with a tsb of tomato paste and add 6 roasted cashews to the gravy before blending. The double marination, mustard oil, and onion tomato marsala were game changers!

[@nonickname5242]

If you know varehvah.. then u r old school and you have validated your 15 yrs ;) Yes the variety tomato is the key. It must be bright red and especially juicy. Ofcourse you can bump it up with some concentrate. Some ppl add Cashew in the paste. You sir, have mastered the art of Indian cooking

I love this so much! Love the way he gets in there with his hands, so great.

[@jackmunday7602]

That looks absolutely delicious.😋 In a time of industrialised ready meals. It's so refreshing to see a classic favourite like this, made with true love and care.

Im so blown away by his cooking approach. Ive made masala before but not like his! Im subscribed. Im inspired. Looking forward to more videos!

I always wondered why Indian food was more expensive. It makes sense now seeing all the effort it takes to make it

[@derrickddub]

More expensive in the western world. Super cheap and delicious in India.

[@adj33]

@@derrickddub Importing spices is expensive!Lot of ingredients are used in the food as well. In India most of these spices are readily available for a reasonable price.

[@bandanasaikia6048]

It doesn't even cost 2$ in India

[@YudraKudra]

@@bandanasaikia6048 lol, where would you find a full serving size for $2? Its not that cheap in any decent restaurant in India. I would say its somewhere close to INR 450-500, which is roughly $6.5-$7

- How much chili powder and green chilis you need for this recipe? - Yes.

[@aliendude4064]

Those are not the spice chilli powder.. It's kashmiri chill which is like paprika. That has least spice in it and mostly it give the red color.

Yes

[@omarwanly3785]

This was great! so many new techniques I never knew about

[@flyerzrule7509]

1.) Buy a boxed tikka masala spice box from an *indian* grocery most will not have the number of spices used here, replace for all spice and marinate steps 2.) replace the oven cooking with quick a high temp grill char (less than a minute), the chicken will finish cooking in the sauce 3) Don't worry about the mustard oil, regular cooking oil and go easier on the oil than he did, its rich and good but that what leads to the 'Indian restaurant food' shits that everyone is familiar with. 4) Enjoy, this dish is very doable and he teaches the fundamentals really well.

For the Non-Indians watching this; if you think that he's using too many spices, you'd be mistaken. This is what most households use on a daily basis. We even add spices into our tea at times.

This would literally take me a day to do. Holy hell, that's a lot of work and quite a bit of technique. I loved that he explained so many techniques that aren't familiar to Western cooking. Fantastic teacher. I'll sooner let him make me the dish and I'll just pay for it. Much easier and certainly more accurate/authentic than my caucasian ass could pull off.

[@DonzeJ]

Yeah the key is to make an excessive and have the sauce on hand so you only have to worry about the chicken and the masala. Those two only take an hour or so by themselves and the sauce gets better the longer it sits (3 days max).
