About Tikki masala

Tikka Masala is a popular dish with roots in Indian cuisine, often regarded as a fusion creation influenced by British tastes. It features tender pieces of marinated chicken or vegetables cooked in a creamy, spiced tomato-based sauce. Key ingredients include garlic, ginger, yogurt, tomatoes, heavy cream, and a blend of spices such as cumin, paprika, and garam masala. Rich in protein from the chicken and nutrients from the tomatoes and aromatic spices, the dish has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the calorie count can be high due to the use of cream and butter, making it less suitable for low-fat diets. Health-conscious variants often substitute cream with lighter alternatives like coconut milk. Typically enjoyed with rice or naan, Tikka Masala balances flavor and nutrition, catering to diverse dietary preferences, though portion control is recommended for a balanced meal.
