The wife and I really enjoy this meal. It's easy to prepare, and tastes great. We modified the recipe a bit to get more of the sauce (especially when there's naan too dip in the sauce). We just used a little extra whipping cream.

    This dish came out GREAT! I made it for me and my boyfriend one night; we both loved it! It's a 10! It's every bit as good as the chicken tikka masala I order at our favorite indian restaurant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    This was a huge hit! I used lite coconut milk and grilled the chicken in my George Forman Grill and it came out perfect. I will definently make again. It went together pretty fast because I marinated the meat overnight and had everything else premeasured. Thanks

    This was great! My wife loved it and she always gets the tikka at the Indian restaurants. More subtle flavors was her comment. Ours was very spicy. But due to a change in plans it marinated for about 36hrs. The chicken was beautifully tender. I think next time I will marinate overnight but cut back on the red pepper in the marinade.
