Instructions
Making Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Tikka Masala is straightforward if you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken with yogurt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Onions: Add chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Cook Chicken: Add marinated chicken to the pan, cooking until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
6. Incorporate Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Serve: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
