Chicken Tikka Masala is a flavorful dish originating from South Asian cuisine, celebrated for its rich, creamy tomato-based sauce and tender, marinated chicken pieces. Traditionally, the chicken is marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, then baked or grilled before simmering in the sauce made with tomatoes, cream, and aromatic spices such as garam masala. While packed with bold flavors, the dish can be calorie-dense due to its use of cream and added fats. However, it also provides a good source of protein from the chicken and beneficial antioxidants from the spices and tomatoes. Healthier alternatives can include using low-fat yogurt or coconut milk in place of cream and opting for lean cuts of chicken. Chicken Tikka Masala is a beloved comfort food that combines indulgence with hints of healthy ingredients when prepared mindfully.
