Sauce facts
Tikka masala is thought to be a British invention, but its true origins are firmly rooted in India as the restaurant favourite, butter chicken
The chicken itself is normally marinated in a lovely spiced yoghurt base before being cooked to smoky perfection in a searing hot tandoor. It is then shredded and stirred into the masala.
The masala is a harmony of sweet, tart tomatoes and mellow spices, with hints of garlic and ginger. It is loved by all Indians, and is known to be the king of North Indian sauces.
The spice mix
Fenugreek for savoury aroma
Black cardamom for smoky depth
Green cardamom for freshness
Clove for pungent sweetness
Cassia for sweet warmth
Whole red chilli for clean heat
