About Chicken tekka masala

Chicken Tikka Masala is a popular dish with origins rooted in Indian and British fusion cuisine. It features tender, marinated chicken pieces cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce infused with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Traditional recipes may incorporate yogurt, heavy cream, or coconut milk to enhance its creamy texture and savory flavor. While the dish is packed with protein from the chicken and provides vitamins from tomatoes and spices, its calorie content can be high due to the use of butter, cream, or oil. For a healthier version, ingredients like Greek yogurt or light coconut milk can be substituted, and serving it over quinoa or steamed vegetables can balance the meal. Typically enjoyed with basmati rice or naan, Chicken Tikka Masala is a satisfying entree that blends bold flavors with comforting richness.
