It was delicious! A little on the spicy side for my personal preference but next time I will just take out one of the peppers. One of the best Indian dishes I have ever made at home.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make EVER. My kids love it and I can't get enough of it. I use 6 breasts of boneless chicken breasts and it is a perfect amount of chicken for the sauce. Because its winter I just baked the chicken in the oven and it turned out fine. I added 1/3 of a yellow onion and sauteed it with the chili's. Only used 1 Serrano as my kids can't handle that much spice...don't get me wrong they like spice but 2 I think is a lot. I forgot the cream completely and its still tasted GREAT. Added over 2x the Garam Masala spice to the recipe and used 1 cup of broth in place of the water...much nicer taste than with water.

Good, good, good!! Made a few changes... serrano peppers just doesn't cut it for me or my boyfriend, so substituted it for 4 thai peppers. Nice and spicy! Am trying to eat healthy - rather as healthy as possible - so did away with the cream. No substitute, nothing. The yogurt from the marinade was good enough! Now, since I am a tad lazy, I actually stir fried the chicken with its marinade in the same (rinsed wok while I had the sauce in the blender. When the chicken was nice and almost done, I added the blended sauce into the wok, waited for it to boil and then added the fenugreek leaves and left for a 10 min simmer. Perfect! Just remember to marinate the chicken in good quality yogurt though.

This is the first time I have cooked Chicken Tikka Masala -or Indian Food for that matter. It was fantastic! Although the unknown always seem daunting -but this was as easy as making spaghetti and meatballs. My ginger-root overpowered the Masala. I balanced it with chicken stock and water -it was good. I didn't try the ginger before making the paste. I generally taste the ginger to determine how mild or spicy or pungent it is. I guess I was lazy today. Also, added tsp of sugar to help w/ the acidity of the tomatoes. Peppers were not spicy enough, so I added a little harissa paste. My husband purchased Garam Marsala from Whole Foods -after looking at the ingredients, I purchased the Tandoori Spice blend from Williams Sonoma and combined them both. The combination had all the wonderful flavors I hoped for. The cilantro as a garnish adds great freshness to the dish and should not be missed.

This recipe was excellent. I eaten plenty of Chicken Tikka in my time as an undergraduate student in London. This recipe is as good as in any restaurant as the flavours are just right. The marinade makes the meat very tender. My only criticism is that literally the first bite to hit the palatte seems just a little salty to me. Maybe because I used rock salt rather than table salt. The salt helps draw the juices out of the tomatoes but next time around I will reduce it. Beyond that it's a great recipe. Having tasted the original version, I'd substitute yogurt for cream to make it a tad healthier but that's just me.

My family thought this was amazing. I used chicken breast, and doubled or tripled the garam masala. I de-seeded one of the peppers and not the other, I have some weaklings in the house, so I should've taken out more seeds. I didn't have cream so I just used greek yogurt. I don't know how it would've tasted with heavy cream vs yogurt, but it was fantabulous! I made rice on the side and did a google search for naan and found one and made that. Next time I won't make the rice and we'll just use the naan for dipping, cuz that stuff was outta this world! I can't wait to have this again, and we also made Aarti's pistachio pops to go with this... They just haven't set up yet :( and we're so ready for them cuz they are also amazing!

Not like at an Indian restaurant. Its really good, though. I made it pretty much as it was written. I did use the fenugreek, canned tomatoes, doubled the garam masala and added onions. Very good.

Tried this recipe last night for friends and was disapointed! This was nothing like Chicken Tikka Masala. Very plain and a bit boring. Added some coconut cream and Ground Almonds and was delicious. This is a nice base sauce but needs more adding to it.
