Tandoori Murgh Tikka Masala

Safira

Tandoori Murgh Tikka Masala is a dish my mum made when I was last visiting and I knew it would make it's way to the blog soon after. In this recipe skinless boneless chicken breast is boiled and then added to a rich, luxurious and flavourful Curry sauce. It is delicious and perfect served with Jeera Rice or Naan.

Notes

what to serve with tandoori murgh tikka masala

The BEST side is always Garlic Butter Naan. Closely followed by Basmati rice, Jeera Rice, Naan or Roti.

Other sides:

Kachumber Salad

Onion Raita

Chicken And Water

You don't need to add much water because the Chicken will also release water. You can add a little more if you want to.

Salt

When adding salt to the Curry base, add less then you usually would because you have already added a little salt to the chicken when boiling.
