i left out all but one tsp salt in the entire recipe, used only half of the jalapeno pepper, and halved the pepper. i also saute the chicken in the marinade on the stove, rather than throwing the marinate out, and grilling. the chicken comes out so tender and the sauce is amazing when combined with the ingredients in the second half. ive made this recipe already two times in the last 10 days! its excellent!

I've made this recipe at least a dozen times. The recipe is perfect, except the salt, please, please, use your judgment on this, or you will be eating salt for dinner.

This recipe is great. I cut back on the salt and used half and half instead of heavy cream. I used 1/2 a jalapeno and it was perfect for our taste, spicy but not too spicy. My hubby was impressed!

We LOVE this recipe, I make it once a week. My husband used to live in India and had converted me to Indian food. The only problem is, this recipe is very time consuming. It helps if he is cooking with me while I make it or it takes forever. I took someone's advice to broil the chicken in a roasting pan and rotate, instead of grill because we don't have a grill, we have also sauted the chicken instead to save time, and it is definitely not as good as when it is broiled/grilled. I love this recipe, if you like Indian food, try it!

This was quite tasty! It stands up fine with chicken tikka you'd get at any restaurant. My only suggestions are the following: 1. As other users have noted, LEAVE THE SALT OUT! There's already a ton of salt in prepackaged tomato sauce--at most, add another teaspoon or so. 2. Marinating the chicken for more than an hour will add to the flavor and make it juicier. 3. Broiling works just fine if you don't feel like starting the grill--5 minutes on each side and you'll be done.

Great recipe. I cut back on the salt and doubled the sauce, as others mentioned. This will now be part of our family rotation.

Good but very salty and spicy. Use half the salt and half the cumin for the sauce. We eat Texas hot, hot salsa and this was too much. Will make the recipe again with modifications and rate. Green peas help to tone it down.

For my first "indian" dish, this turned out great! I did use LIGHT Coconut Milk instead of heavy cream, though.

The sauce was too spicy/salty and it tasted more like really salty chili than tiki masala. I'll have to try the recipe again with 1/2 the amount of spices in the tomato sauce and add the salt afterwords. Also, my local Indian restaurant puts chunks of tomatoes and onions in the sauce as well.

Agree with the others about the salt. Next time I am just going to leave out all of the salt the recipe called for.

As is, salty and spicy! That being said, those two things are easy to adjust and I think the recipe is fantastic. I will definitely be using it again and again. We ate it with Naan, but once I tone the salt and spice down a bit, I think the sauce will go wonderfully with rice. I also added cashews at en end and loved the little crunch and added flavor it gives the dish.

Absolutely delicious!!! My husband kept asking" Isn't this just like the restaurant version??" I took other's suggestions and doubled the sauce, and reduced the amount of salt. We added peas to our leftovers for some vegetables, but otherwise fantastic flavor!

This was amazing! I love to experiment with Indian cooking and I have to say this was an easy recipe and it tasted better then most Indian places I go. The only suggestion that I have is to omit the salt and if you are not a spicy person cut the cayanne by half. Enjoy!

For the time this took to make, it really didn't taste that amazing. Mine didn't taste too salty (actually, I added salt & pepper afterward), but it was to lemony/zesty. I think the lemon juice plus the tomato puree pushes it over the top. If I make this again, I'll halve or remove the lemon juice.

When my husband says "You can make this again!" and cleans his plate, it's a keeper!! Exchanged the heavy cream for 6 ounces of coconut milk, that was the only change. The freshness of your spices is paramount to making this dish come out well.
