I use this one except I grill or broil the chicken instead.

It's not tikka masala, more of a Thai curry, but what I do is get a ton of onion garlic and ginger and maybe red pepper or something in the pan with sesame oil. A few scoops of curry powder goes a long way too. Then mix in a can of curry paste. Sizzle a bit. The trick is to use a can of chicken broth and maybe a cube of bullion. Then add your basil and a can of coconut milk. There's your curry sauce. Add a cup of lentils or some chicken and you're good.

I like the two sleevers recipe if you have an instant pot. https://twosleevers.com/chicken-tikka-masala/

Joshua Weissman has a decent one that our kids love! It’s a good base that you can build on.

I didnt this time, but if you want smooth texture, blend sauce and strain. I’ve done it before for butter chicken and it turned out very smooth.

Yeah but getting it out means you don't have to frantically clean the tumeric off of every surface before it stains.

I made a Tikka Masala from scratch this weekend! It was surprisingly easy, and shockingly close to the real thing. I followed this recent video by Brain Largerstrom.

The spice mix was just cumin, paprika, curry powder, garam masala, and chilli flakes.

From scratch. Easier than you think.
