Easy Chicken Tikka Masala

Leave a comment

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.

Creamy Thai Pumpkin Soup

Leave a comment

This Creamy Pumpkin soup is healthy and easy to make. If is also sure to fill the air and kitchen with a nice aroma too. 

Just make sure before making this soup that you are using “Pumpkin puree” not “filling” for this one as there is a BIG difference in how this will turn out.

Also you can use any type curry for this kind of soup, however we do recommend this brand of “Thai Red Curry paste” below.

Because it has the flavorful spices of lemongrass, galangal and kaffir leaves in it that puts this soup into the Thai cuisines category.

Red Thai Curry paste can be found in pretty much any asian aisle in your local grocery store. So if you have not cooked with it before, we encourage you to give it a try.

The pumpkin works so well in this recipe, not to mention Looking for a purely vegetarian soup, just omit the chicken stock and use vegetable. Easy eh 🙂 Enjoy
