Tikka Masala Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Set aside.

Prepare the Sauce
