Tikka masala - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, absolutely! Chicken thighs will add even more flavor and stay moist during grilling. Just be sure to cut them into similar sized pieces as you would the breast.
You can use heavy cream or cashew cream for a similar richness. If you prefer a lighter option, try plain yogurt or even a little chicken broth, but adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Leftover Tikka Masala can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Yes! Substitute the chicken with paneer (Indian cheese) for a vegetarian version, or use firm tofu or chickpeas for a vegan option. Ensure the tofu is pressed well to remove excess moisture before marinating.
Gently reheat the Tikka Masala in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it, but be careful not to overheat it. Add a splash of water or broth if it seems too dry.
Yes, Tikka Masala freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Tikka Masala is delicious served with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti. You can also add a side of raita (yogurt dip) and a simple salad for a complete meal.
Yes, you can bake the chicken. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Cashews are a good substitute for almonds, providing a similar creamy texture and nutty flavor. You can also omit them entirely if you have nut allergies; the sauce will still be delicious.
