Outstanding flavor and easy recipe – try to make your favorite chicken tikka masala in your own kitchen!

I have to admit, before I first moved to San Francisco, I never tried Indian food. You know, here you can enjoy Real Food from almost any cuisine from all over the world!

Chicken tikka masala was so full of flavor, I started to order it almost every week. A few years later, after I got married and had 2 kids , this chicken dish became our family favorite and I cook it once a week for dinner.
