Chicken Masala, a staple of Indian cuisine, is a flavorful dish made by simmering marinated chicken in a rich, spiced tomato-based sauce. Typically prepared with ingredients like garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, this dish bursts with vibrant flavors. Its origins lie in South Asia, though variations of the recipe are enjoyed globally. On the nutrition side, Chicken Masala provides a good source of protein from the chicken, while the spices contribute antioxidants and potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, its healthiness depends on preparation methods; recipes calling for cream or excess oil can increase calorie and fat content. Opting for light cooking oils, yogurt in place of cream, and controlling portions of carbohydrates such as rice or naan can make it a more balanced meal while still offering its iconic taste.
