I've tried several chicken tikka masala recipes and have always been disappointed. This recipe is very good and the closest you can come to the authentic restaurant taste, and it's so easy to make. I used non-fat fage greek yogurt and marinated for a few hours in the fridge. Next time I want to take some of the other reviewer advice and use garam masala instead of the cinnamon. I also broiled the chicken in the oven for approx 9 minutes. Overall a really excellent recipe that will satisfy that craving for Indian food.

Other than curry, I thought I wasn't a fan of Indian food...until I made this last night. I wish I would have read the reviews beforehand and added some garam masala since I actually had some with my spices. I warmed up flour tortillas from Central Market (the best!) and gobbled it up :P

This is an awesome recipe! It has the perfect blend of spices. The only thing I would change the next time I make this is to cut down the salt to 2 tsp. in the marinade. As a side I made the Indian style rice with cashews, raisins (also on this site) and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe is fantastic! The first time I made this I followed directions exactly. The second time, the only changes I made were to save time and fat: instead of marinating for so long, I simply cooked the chicken with all of the spices on the stove-top and, once cooked, put the chicken into the oven to let the curry thicken up a bit; I also used a combination of cream and yogurt (yogurt alone may have made it too watery, cream alone is too fattening!). This recipe tastes great with the Naan on this site (I rated it as well, so it can be found through my profile), and some yogurt (raita) made with: diced tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, mint or cilantro and some salt/pepper. Thanks for a great recipe, Yakuta!

Delicious! For a healthier alternative I substituted yogurt for the heavy cream and it turned out great. I would cut back on the salt next time, but it is definitely a keeper.

This is a fantastic recipe. I wouldn't use as much salt next time and I also cooked it on the stove but it was still delicious. So easy and so good!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! My fiance and I had fallen in love with a local Indian restaurant and always went for the chicken masala-I wanted to do something special for our anniversary, so I tried my hand at this recipe-We both loved it :) I too followed the recipe, with the exception of not using much salt. I also grilled the chicken on the stove in a little bit of olive oil(it does not appear to alter the flavor). I just recently made this for the second time, and I marinated the meat for 8 hours--AMAZING!!! It had so much more flavor and was so juicy. This recipe is in our weekly meal lineup!

I am absolutely impressed. I am a beginner cooker and this recipe was delicious. I did take out most of the salt and added to taste. I don't like too much spice so i took out the cayenne pepper and the jalepeno pepper. The black pepper gave it a slight kick.

I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of using other reviewer's suggestions and not using as much salt. I used 2 tsp. of salt for the marinade, and 2 tsp. for the sauce-keep in mind that the sauce reduces, and the salt will be more concentrated as well, so next time, I'll only use 1 tsp. of salt in the sauce. Instead of grilling the chicken, I threaded the chunks onto skewers and put them under my broiler on a rack, over foil so there was little mess. The char/sear on the chicken is definitely a good thing, so I wouldn't skip that step. Overall, this was really delicious, and the level of heat was fine for me (I added more smoked paprika to the sauce, too).

I live in a small city that doesn't have many ethnic restaurants. I haven't had this dish in years so I have been missing it alot. I omitted most of the salt in the sauce and it was seasoned just right. This was very tasty and just as I remember it. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe. It's definitely a keeper!

This was a wonderful recipe. I have never made indian food before, so i was a little nervous, but it tuned out great! My boyfriend said it was one of the best things i have made, and I have been experimenting for a few years now. I followed the other advise about no salt (just a few shakes). And I replaced some of the cream with half and half, and it tasted wonderful. TOTAL KEEPER!

I love this recipe, I make it all the time. Easy and comes out great. I think it calls for way too much salt, it almost ruined the dish the first time I tried it. I use 1/2 to 1 tsp. You can also use milk or low fat milk in place of cream, obviously not as rich, but turns it into a low fat dish!

Being a self proclaimed Indian food critic/fanatic i had to try this. The only changes I make are cutting back on the salt and cutting back slightly on the spicy spices. Really yummy!

Really very good, even for an awful cook like me. First, I had an cinnamon accident and dumped way too much in marinading the meat, then I burned the garlic, pepper, and spices with the butter. But even with the two mishaps, the dish was still delicious. My husband is very picky, and even he really liked it. I took everyone's advise and skipped the salt. DON'T NEED SALT. Also, I didn't need all the chicken. Since we like it with a lot of sauce like in our favorite Indian restaurant, there was 1/4 of the chicken left. Guess I'll wash off the spices and give it to our doggies!

One of the best things I've ever tasted. Omitted the salt from the marinade and reduced the black pepper to one teaspoon. For the sauce I used only a dash of salt. Served over whole wheat couscous with whole wheat pita bread. The sauce tasted ever better the next day.

I followed my instincts (and the opinions of several posters) and reduced the salt to one teaspoon each in the marinade and sauce. It was delicious! Easily on par with many Indian restaurants. The only change I will make next time is to marinate the chicken overnight, I think this is the key to that incredibly soft meat that one always finds in good Indian food.

Wow, the chicken in this was AMAZING! Moist and flavorful. I almost didn't want to put the sauce over it, but I'm glad I did because it was yummy, too. Served over whole wheat couscous.
