Alrighty, another rockin' recipe! I got the frames for this one from the Halloween issue of Good Housekeeping. My mother makes this, in its full fatty goodness and I love it so much! It has to be one of my favorite dishes, but I'm sure with its full fat yogurt, and heavy whipping cream it makes a HUGE calorie bomb. Needless to say I was really excited to find this. I do not think it rises above its namesake, but dang it was so good! I did not add the extra salt. The only thing that I believe I will do differently next time is add some garam masala to the dish for an extra flavor punch. This one is a keeper! I served it with oven warmed whole wheat naan.Chicken Tikka Masala - 8 points per serving
Makes 8 servings
27oz chicken breast
2 cups uncooked brown rice
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion diced
3 tsp ground ginger
2 cloves minced garlic
4 tbsp red curry paste
28-30oz diced tomatoes
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup for garnish, chopped (I didnt have any fresh so I used 1/4th of a cup dried)
1 cup light cream
2tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Prepare rice as label directs.
Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium 1 minute. Add onion and cook 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ginger, garlic, and curry paste; cook 3 minutes longer.
Add chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and cook 2 minutes or until no longer pink on the outside, stirring occasionally. Add tomato; cover and cook 5 minutes longer or until chicken just loses its pink color throughout.
Uncover and stir in half-and-half and cilantro. Stir and recover. Simmer on low for 5 more minutes. Spoon rice into 8 shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Does the point value include the rice?
ReplyDeleteYes it does include rice. It comes out to about a half a cup cooked rice per serving.
ReplyDeletethis was yummy >.< Ruby you must post my cake I made here...
ReplyDeleteI would love to make this recipe for myself , but my kids loved the original recipe. I have tried but with no luck to get the original recipe from the internet, could u help me out? It would make my day,.... Thanks sooooo much....
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI don't think that there is an original per say. It was invented in London, and there is no definitive recipe. I would find a base you like, and adapt it until you find one you love. In the mean time I can ask my mother for her recipe if you would like to start there? :)
