Chicken Tikka Masala



The picture is not doing my chicken tikka masala justice. This chicken tikka masala has the combination of sweetness, sourish , spiciness that just awakened your taste buds! When i decided to blog what i had for dinner, it just show how excited i am with what i made today for dinner. Fun facts: the origin of chicken tikka masala is disputed. Some claim that it is from Glasgow, Scotland and some said it was created in a Bangladeshi Restaurant in England.Learn more about chicken tikka in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala
