Britain (#5) Chicken Tikka Masala
I recently bought Masala Simmer Sauce from Trader Joe's and thought I would be making an Indian curry dish. After a little research I found that chicken cooked in a masala sauce is a recipe that originated in Britain by a Bangladeshi chef and is a British national dish. Some of the ingredients in the sauce are tomato puree, light cream, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, fenugreek leaves, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon and cloves. All those ingredients add up to wonderful. I sautéed onions in oil, added cauliflower, sweet potatoes and chicken breast cut into one-inch pieces, then simmered in the sauce for about 1/2 hour. I served it over rice with a chiffonade of fresh mint. Delicious!
