Perfect tikka masala. This is the first time i cooked this and it turned out v yummy!

Was a very nice recipe. You will have to adjust the spices, so you can get the flavor you seek. Especially if you enjoy it hotter. But other than that, a keeper!!!

I love this recipe & make it all the time. Sometimes I like to do the Whole 30 diet & I substitute the yogurt & heavy cream for coconut yogurt and it still turns out amazing!
