Cole Cooks: Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe
Chicken Tikka Masala is a favorite of our family. This dish, often found in Indian restaurants is more U.K. than India based. Our unique take adds sauteed onions and peppers and is probably not traditional. However, it tastes good. We made this along with our super hot Carolina Reaper Phall. So here is our Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe.
