Chicken Tikka Masala

Yesterday I posted Chicken Tikka recipe which is a dry one. Today I am posting a gravy version of it. That is Chicken Tikka cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. And my favourite is this one. The one thing in this recipe is it is a two step recipe...First you have to make chicken tikka and then add that in this lovely sauce. The main flavouring in this dish is butter. Since everything is done in butter it tasted awesome. But it is loaded with extra fat and calories. I served this dish with Malabar Ghee Rice it tasted awesome.

Is it ok if I dont add milk, because I dont want my chicken tikka to be sweet. I like it spicy.

@Anonymous Yes you could do it, but milk or cream gives you lovely creaminess to this dish
