Re: Chicken Tikka Masala
don’t understand why Arnold Shalwaar Nicker wrote that but the topic got me wondering what the difference between chicken tikka and tandoori chicken is?
Re: Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken tikka is barbequed and its been marinated in the tikka masala prior to barbeque. Chicken tikka masala is cooked on the stove, and its sauce is a cream-type sauce. Kind of like a thick creamy salan.
