This recipe is amazing. For the leftover sauce I added some sauteed onion, peas and shrimp and it was just as delicious the second time around. Can't wait for more recipes like this!

Love the flavor and aroma of this dish!! It is more time consuming, but worth it!! Another new family favorite thanks to Aarti!!! I substituted 28 oz crushed tomatoes for the roma tomatoes, like one reviewer suggested. Definitely a time saver, since I don't have an immersion blender. I ended up using the entire recipe of the garlic/ginger paste for the marinade, sauce and the Aloo Gobi. Also added a little extra chicken too. So glad there's lots of leftovers!!! :

I can only add my voice to the other 5-star ratings out there. I'm an Indian food addict but I've never been able to duplicate the creamy, tangy restaurant Chicken Tikka Masala until Aarti's recipe. The whole house smelled unbelievable! I'm definitely making a jar of the ginger-garlic paste for future use. Can't wait to try making the Beef Vindaloo...

My boyfriend is Indian and I have been wanting to cook an Indian meal for us for awhile. I made this last night and it was absolutely DELICIOUS and pretty easy!! I marinated the chicken overnight which made it so tender, and only used half of a large serrano pepper's seeds and ribs which I thought gave it just the right amount of heat (I'm not a fan of TOO spicy. I also made the Aloo Gobi and cucumber raita as sides and served it with store bought frozen naan grilled on a grill pan, which was all delicious as well. as well. The whole meal was wonderful and my boyfriend was sooo impressed!! Thanks Aarti for making Indian cooking fun and easy!!

I made your Tikka Masala recipie last night (our first ever attempt at Indian Food and it was simply amazing. More importantly we had SO much fun finding a great Indian market in Chicago where we managed to find dried FenuGreek leaves. My end product was a bit watery although i followed the directions to a "t"...Any thoughts? thanks

I made this recipe today (along with Aloo Gobi and boy, was it a hit! I actually forgot to stir in the cream--and my son and I both loved it (without realizing anything was missing. When I added the cream, it was heavenly, just like what we'd get from the best Indian restaurants.

One thing I'd do differently next time, though, is to grill the chicken pieces before cutting them. I cut them too small and I have the exact grill Aarti used in the episode--it is much better to grill large pieces than bite-sized pieces.

Thanks, Aarti!

DELICIOUS! I have never been able to get the consistency or flavor just like the restaurants' dish before this. My boys and my husband enjoyed this ... even more than the restaurant version. IMO, using the roma tomatoes instead of canned definitely makes a difference. So now I have thrown away all the other tikka masala recipes and will be keeping this one. Thanks!

I have been making Indian food at home for years but for some reason had never made tikka masala. Well, that ended yesterday when I followed Aarti's recipe. It was scrumptious! The ginger garlic paste was amazing - just the right amount of everything - which made the sauce smooth and flavorful. I used jalapeno peppers instead of serrano because they are milder and it came out with just the right amount of heat for my family. My husband, who is British and loves Indian food raved about it. It will definitely be a staple.

I followed Aarti on the Next Food Network Star and was so excited she won. As a fellow "brown" person, I was eager to try her recipes. First, I am glad so many reviewers are trying Indian food at home for the first time. It was a first for me too -- for this dish anyway -- and the ginger in the garlic-ginger paste RUINED it for me. I would definitely caution folks to go easy on the ginger at first try. That said, the techniques were easy to follow and demystified this particular dish for me. I will try it again for sure, but with much, much less ginger.
