Curry Stand Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce

Image
A classic curry-stand recipe. This is not haute cuisine; this is the kind of nuclear-orange tikka masala that you crave when you stumble out of a pub at 2 a.m. I make vast quantities of the sauce at one time, and it freezes very well. I also added much more cayenne pepper than 1 teaspoon, but I give out the recipe like this for people who don't like heat Recipe by: Chris Bellers  Ingredients 1 h 20 m 6servings 328cals 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)  1 onion, finely chopped  4 cloves garlic, minced  1 tablespoon ground cumin  1 teaspoon salt  1 teaspoon ground ginger  1 teaspoon cayenne pepper  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric  1 (14   ounce) can tomato sauce  1 cup heavy whipping cream  2 teaspoons paprika  1 tablespoon white sugar  1 tablespoon vegetable oil  4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces  1/2 t...

Spicy Thai Basil Chicken
