Creating Gordon Ramsay Chicken Tikka Masala is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.

2. Prepare the Base: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan, cooking until browned on all sides. This should take approximately 10 minutes.

4. Add Tomatoes and Cream: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes. Then add the heavy cream, continuing to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.

5. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

6. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the dish for an added burst of flavor.

7. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and get ready to serve!

By following these steps, you’ll create a Chicken Tikka Masala that is not only delicious but also visually pleasing!
