Chicken tikka masala recipe that actually tastes like takeaway

Want a real chicken tikka masala at home? It might sound impossible - but you can do it. You don't need any fancy equipment or ingredients. You can get everything you need from the supermarket. You just need to master a few simple techniques. Find out how in this video.
Remember as a kid that excitement of hearing the ice cream van coming into the street, ready to get some soft serve ice cream, only to face crippling disappointment when your parents give you a choc-ice instead?
That's kinda how I feel every time I have a home-cooked curry instead of a restaurant or takeaway curry. It's just... not the same.
That's the past. This is the real deal.
Big shoutout to glebekitchen, from whom this recipe has been derived. He's done a great job learning about how restaurants make curries, and sharing that wisdom with us.

I’m a 36 your old bloke, who has never had an interest in cooking, as I never enjoyed the process…until recently. I served in the army where three meals was always supplied, and then when at home the wife or family would always cook. It seems now I’m ready to give it ago! I made gambas pil pil a few months ago and it went down awesome with friends and family. As a massive curry lover, I needed a guide and also inspiration, thank you for this! I’m just about to create a shopping list, the reddness is exactly how it should be presented too

(It was hellacious to see a chef taking out salt from a zip bag 😂) Very good attempt I would say, the only thing I could mention was if you use tandoori powder and Kashmiri chilli powder a little bit to marinate chicken you would not need food colour this much. Try adding less water in each step so it will take less to evaporate at the end. 😋

I’m in NZ now, so perhaps I’ll have to checkup on that. But yup, I’d say most of the time this is the colour of a chicken tikka masala. My friends and I are often surprised when it ISNT red

@calamity-goddess 9 күн бұрын

Here in the US, I've only seen the neon red curry at a couple of places. However, when I was making this recipe, I realized that almost every place I've been adds red food coloring to the chicken marinade. The color of the chicken after baking is unmistakable, and adding the red chicken to the sauce makes the end result exactly like what's served in most restaurants I've been to.

It should be fairly thick normally. You can reduce the curry base more, or you can add a cornflour slurry (that's cornflour mixed with a little water) to it to thicken it.

@@adamcantcook butter, coconut oil. Ghee I’m not sure it depends on the recipe but it is never ever acceptable.

Once you cut hydrogenated oils out of your life you taste it in loads of stuff you didn’t think it was there.

In my humble opinion, there are better versions of this dish online. Not enough colour on the chicken coming out of the oven and the chicken needs to be properly marinated using a lot more spices and should always be left overnight.

Sorry but no. Thumbs down due to salting but not marinating your chicken in yoghurt and spices, using generic supermarket 'curry powder', generally too much salt, and the final straw, food colouring. Yuk. You can use a lot more kashmiri chilli powder - It won't be as artificial and lurid looking, but it will be red, and not too hot.
