This recipe was amazing! My family loved it!
I totally agree! This dish is like a party in your mouth! 🎉
Tastes good, but why so much cream? Isn’t it too rich? 🍽️
Yummy! I added some peas for a pop of color. Will make again!
Adding peas sounds like a great idea! I love when people get creative with recipes. Did you use fresh or frozen peas?
It turned out to be way too spicy for my kids. Add less garam masala next time.
Easy to follow but the chicken was a bit dry after cooking. Next time I’ll let it marinate longer!
Dry chicken? Nah, mine turned out fine. Maybe you overcooked it?
I totally get you! Marinating seems to always help, right? Try adding some coconut milk next time, too!
How many people does this serve? I made it for 4 but wish I doubled it!
This is not authentic chicken tikka masala. You gotta use tandoori chicken! What a mess.
I think it sounds delicious, but I get what you’re saying about the tandoori chicken. Still, this recipe looks good to me!
Naw, this recipe is perfectly fine! Authenticity is whatever; I just wanna eat something tasty. Control yourself, buddy.
