Chicken tikka masala is a very popular dish in the world. It is very similar to Indian butter chicken, both equally tasty. Especially in winter months, when you crave warm food, this is a great idea to make. I used to make this chicken tikka masala a lot for my guests, while working as a chef. I used to add poppadoms as well, a very nice way of adding a special touch to a curry dish. Or Naan bread if you prefer, can work well too. Just like the Indian butter chicken recipe, it is best to let the chicken be in the marinade overnight and not just a few hours.
