Chicken Tikka Masala


A couple of weeks ago we ordered Indian (from here) for the first time in a long time and I've been craving it ever since.  Our favorite is Chicken Tikka Masala - chicken marinated in spices and yogurt, served in a creamy sauce of tomatoes, garlic, ginger and spices such as curry, paprika, turmeric and cumin.  All served over yellow rice and peas.  Ridiculous!  I would eat it way too often if I didn't care about my figure (I don't).      

I found this recipe and modified it only slightly by using nonfat Greek yogurt instead of whole milk regular yogurt, brown basmati rice instead of white and olive oil where it called for butter.  Next time I might try coconut milk instead of cream.  *I also made my own Garlic Naan from scratch, but I will share that with you next week.  Happy Weekend You!
