About Tikka masala
Tikka Masala is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, combining marinated, spiced pieces of chicken cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce. The marinade typically includes yogurt, turmeric, and chili powder, while the sauce is crafted with tomatoes, cream, onion, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic Indian spices like cumin and garam masala. Packed with protein from the chicken and beneficial antioxidants from the tomatoes and spices, Tikka Masala offers some nutritional value. However, its rich sauce, often made with cream or butter, can be high in saturated fats and calories, particularly when portion sizes are large. For a healthier option, light cream or yogurt can be used instead of heavy cream. Commonly served with basmati rice or naan, it’s a satisfying dish enjoyed worldwide for its bold flavors and comforting texture. As always, moderation is key in enjoying this indulgent favorite.
