Coat the chicken with yogurt, lemon, garam masala, and garlic.
Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes so the yogurt carries the spice into the meat.
Fry the chicken pieces in a pan for 8 minutes, then set aside.
For the tikka masala sauce, cook the tomato puree, butter, and spices for 12 minutes.
Add the chicken and cream to the sauce and cook over low heat for 18 minutes.
💡 Tip: Brown the chicken pieces over high heat before adding them to the sauce so the marinade aroma becomes more pronounced. If 30 minutes feels short, you can extend it to 1 hour; small chicken pieces will still work with the recipe.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with basmati rice and cilantro.
