Chicken Tikka Masala is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, celebrated globally for its creamy texture and aromatic spices. It features marinated chunks of chicken, typically baked or grilled, simmered in a rich, mildly spiced tomato-based curry sauce. Common ingredients include yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder, with cream or coconut milk added for the sauce’s signature velvetiness. While high in protein thanks to the chicken, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the cream and oil used in preparation. It provides essential nutrients like vitamin C from tomatoes and antioxidants from spices. For a healthier version, light cream or Greek yogurt can replace heavy cream, and serving it alongside whole-grain rice or steamed vegetables balances its richness with added fiber. Chicken Tikka Masala is an indulgent dish that harmonizes bold flavors with comfort, offering room for healthier adaptations.
