Easy Chicken Tikka Masala

Craving curry tonight? Well skip the take out and impress your family tonight with this easy to make and authentic tasting curry.

This is my take on a healthier version of Chicken Tikka Masala.

What makes it healthier that we are omitting the cream and replacing it with 2% milk and then adding plain yogurt as well.

What makes it easier is that we are not blending the onions after cooking them rather just allowing them to simmer in the pressure cooker.

Also if you can get your hands on “green cardamom pods” which you can find in your ethnic spice isle, do add a few of those. This really adds a unique taste and is soooo good in here.

Packed with so much flavor this recipe will definitely remind you of some of the best Chicken Tikka Masala dishes that you have tried at your favorite restaurant.

In addition I like to add some mini potatoes to this recipe, however those are not typically used in Tikka Masala.

I think they go so well with this dish, so I will leave that ingredient option up to you. You can also serve this with rice OR naan bread.

If you end up giving it a try, do let me know in the comments below. I would love to know what you think 🙂

Notes: For a spicier curry add 1 tbsp of red chili powder. Also feel free to omit the mini potatoes if you would rather serve this with rice or naan bread.

Eggplant Chickpea Curry

This Eggplant Chickpea curry is simmered in just the right spices of coriander, cumin, red chili powder, green cardamom, garam masala to name a few.

And is similar to Baingan Bharta which is a popular vegetarian indian eggplant dish, however with my recipe we are not roasting the eggplant, rather frying it.

This is one of my favorite vegetarian curries, I tend to eat it once a week. Simple, healthy and not expensive at all to make you are sure to love it too.

Packed full of so many flavors and texture it’s makes a satisfying and hearty meal. Serve alongside some naan bread, or rice and don’t forget to share.

Eating vegetarian never tasted so good. Go ahead and sprinkle this dish with some dried Fenugreek leaves on top for that extra flavor.

Note: If you are cooking on the stove top, omit the water. Otherwise it’s needed in the pressure cooker.

Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry

This Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry is a fusion type dish that I came up with in the past year or so.

This dish is packed with flavors that your sure to enjoy!

As you may know, I love Thai and Indian food. So you will always find all those types of spices in my pantry along with coconut milk.

For this recipe, I have infused spices from both cultures, to come up with this Chicken Potato Curry recipe, that I think is worth sharing. And have made time and time again in my kitchen.

Everything goes so well together to make a creamy, spicy and flavorful curry. Serve over a bed of jasmine rice or alongside some naan bread.

NAAN bread also goes amazingly well with this meal. You can find that recipe at the bottom of this post!

This dish can be made with shrimp too, just add your shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking and omit the step of cooking the chicken.

Cooking Methods:

Pressure Cooker: Cook for approx. 10 minutes – after following the initial steps 1-6.
Slow Cooker: Place on LOW for 2-3 hours HIGH for 3 hours. – after following the initial steps 1-6.
Stove Top: Cook covered on low for 60 minutes. – after following the initial steps 1-6.
