About Chicken tiki masala

Chicken Tikka Masala is a popular Indian-inspired dish featuring marinated chicken chunks cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce. The chicken is traditionally marinated in yogurt mixed with spices like cumin, turmeric, and paprika, enhancing flavor while tenderizing the meat. The sauce blends tomatoes, cream, garlic, and a mix of warming spices, creating its signature rich and spiced taste. While it’s enjoyed worldwide, its origins trace back to South Asia, with influences from British cuisine. Nutritionally, chicken provides lean protein, supporting muscle and tissue growth. The aromatic spices may offer anti-inflammatory benefits. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the full-fat cream and butter often used to achieve its velvety texture. Pairing it with whole grains like brown rice or a side of vegetables can balance its nutritional profile, making it a flavorful treat that can fit into a balanced diet when eaten in moderation.
