A Symphony of Spices

The foundation of our Chicken Tikka Masala lies in the meticulous blend of spices crafted by our expert chefs. Each spice is selected for its unique contribution to the overall flavor profile, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on your taste buds. From the warmth of cumin to the subtle kick of garam masala, every spice plays a crucial role in achieving the harmonious perfection of our Chicken Tikka Masala.

Cumin is one of the key spices in our blend, adding a warm, earthy note that forms the base of the dish. Its distinctive aroma and slightly bitter flavor complement the other spices, enhancing the overall depth of the dish.

Garam masala, a traditional Indian spice mix, adds a subtle kick to our Chicken Tikka Masala. This blend typically includes cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and pepper, creating a complex and aromatic flavor profile that brings a touch of warmth and spice.

Tandoor-Grilled Perfection

The journey of our Chicken Tikka Masala begins with tender chicken pieces marinated in a secret blend of spices. This marinade showcases the expertise of our culinary team, who have perfected the art of creating the ideal balance of flavors. Once marinated, the chicken is lovingly tandoor-grilled to perfection.

The Art of Marination

Marination is a critical step in preparing our Chicken Tikka Masala. The chicken is marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices, which not only infuses it with flavor but also tenderizes the meat, ensuring it remains juicy and succulent.

The Tandoor Experience

Cooking the marinated chicken in a traditional tandoor oven imparts a unique smoky and charred essence that defines the authenticity of our Chicken Tikka Masala. The high heat of the tandoor seals in the juices, creating a deliciously moist and flavorful dish.

The Heart of the Dish: Velvety Tomato Sauce

The heart of our signature dish lies in its velvety tomato sauce—a rich, creamy blend that envelops the succulent chicken. Crafted with care and precision, the sauce is a testament to the dedication we pour into creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Our tomato sauce starts with ripe, juicy tomatoes, slowly simmered to bring out their natural sweetness. The cream is then added to create a luxurious texture that coats the chicken in a silky, smooth sauce. The addition of butter enhances the richness, making the sauce indulgently creamy.

Achieving the perfect balance of flavors is essential in our tomato sauce. The sweetness of the tomatoes is balanced by the tanginess of yogurt and the richness of cream. A hint of sugar is added to enhance the natural sweetness of the tomatoes, while a touch of chili powder provides a gentle heat that rounds out the flavor profile.
