WAY too salty. We couldn't even eat the leftovers. It has potential though, I think next time I'll decrease the salt and also the cayenne pepper.

Mmm whole family loved this recipe! I had a couple variations: used Greek yogurt (for extra flavor), marinated the chicken overnight, and then baked it in the oven the next day. Great with basmatti rice and some sauteed veggies. Will make again!

Far too salty! The next time I make this I will decrease the salt by at least half. This is my husband's favorite dish at our local Indian restaurant- it's a very convincing replica!

If you omit all salt and marinade the chicken overnight, the recipe will be great!

This is my first attempt in trying to make indian food, and it came out wonderful. I followed the advice of eliminating the salt (just sprinkled some in) and I used half of a jalapeno pepper just because I was afraid it might be too spicy. I was scared of what my fiance' would think, because he never eats Indian food, but he loved it! I served the dish with some roti, and it was delicious!

This wasn't the best tikka masala I've ever had, but it was pretty good considering it was my first time making it at home. I read the other reviews about the saltiness, so I only used salt in the marinade and not in the sauce. It was still pretty salty though, so next time I'd cut that back more. Also there was not much heat at all, so I'd add more heat for next time. I'm vegetarian so I made this with a really good locally-made tofu, and it was great in the recipe. I would also make this again using paneer.

After making America's Test Kitchen's version of this dish many times, I went looking for advice on how to adapt it to the grill. When I found this recipe and it was so highly rated, I thought I'd give the alternate marinade and sauce a try. The original recipe was inedible, mainly because it was much too salty, but the spice mixture was also much more concentrated in the sauce than I was expecting. If you make this recipe, be sure to follow the advice in the comments, unlike us. We also had trouble with the chicken cubes slipping on the skewers when it was time to turn them. If you don't already use double-pronged skewers, a good tip is to skewer each set of chicken pieces with two to make flipping them much simpler.

I spent 4 hours heating up the tandoor to make the chicken, spent the whole afternoon on the dish overall. My wife and I finally sat down to dinner that night and...WAY too much salt! A wasted day.

This turned out very good! Not the best Chicken Tikka Masala that I ever had but up there.

I added the salt to the yogurt marinade but omitted the rest of the salt according to others' suggestions. Turned out well. I really like spicy food but my brother-in-law doesn't so I took out the seeds and veins of the pepper. He still thought it was too spicy but I thought it was about a 3 on a 1-10 spice scale. This was my first crack at an indian dish and I thought it was really good. Tasty and interesting combo of spices and a good way to change up the routine. I thought the sauce was really rich so I served this over rice with some peas and next time I think I'll do a salad and some bread as well and cut back on the portion of chicken tikka on everyone's plate.

Yummylicious! This is so different, and quite easy to make. I must say, it makes me sad when some people change most of a recipe, then when it doesn't turn out right, they take away stars. I changed nothing and give it five stars. *For cooks wanting to try this recipe however, I might cut the salt in half next time. We love salt, but my hubby and I both thought less salt would take it over the top, that's the only change we would make. Thanks for bringing something new to our table!

I hate giving this only 2 stars just because it sounded like it would be so good to me. We just did not care for it at all. Maybe its because we have never had indian food before. So maybe you have to have an acquired taste for it. It was very spicy like others said and I definitely didnt put as much salt as it called for. We took a couple bites of it and then was ready to go on to dessert. Dont think I will be making this again.

I read the salt reviews after the fact. Did the potatoes and lemon thing and then even tried to double the sauce - it didn't even slightly assist.

Great tasting exotic chicken dish. Reduced the salt in both marinade and sauce.

Lovely and tasty, but the sauce was a bit too salty even though I followed other reviewers' advice and added only 1 tsp of salt. Next time I won't add any!

This recipe is great (with the recommended changes). Just wanted to add - we live in apt and can't grill, so we put the chicken on a baking sheet and put it under the broiler for 5 minutes, turned it once and broiled for 5 more minutes. Perfection! Especially over jasmine rice.

I read all the other reviews and planned on reducing the salt in this recipe. However, the airhead that I am, started making this dish and continued to put the suggested amount of salt in. Big mistake... Way too salty! I must of drank a gallon of water in the hour following dinner. Otherwise, a good recipe. So don't be an airhead like me, and remember to cut the salt in half at the very least!!! I would suggest serving this with jasmine rice.

This recipes is very authentic but one must OMIT the salt. The heavy cream can be decreased a bit and the results are still quite good!
