Instructions
Creating Gordon Ramsay Chicken Tikka Masala is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and chili powder. Add the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook the chicken in batches until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion until it is softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Season with salt and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and mix until combined. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken back into the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust salt or spices as needed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro.
