Fabulous! Easy and quick to prepare, the flavors are incredible. I admit it's a bit spicy for my stomach, but I added some coconut milk, and it was perfect! A real treat!! My suggestion: Coconut Milk -

Caution with spices Extremely spicy, those with sensitive stomachs should refrain. My suggestion: I shouldn't have used the tandoori paste in my opinion, as the dish was extremely spicy. Way too much. I will try again but by making the mix myself. This will be significantly less spicy. -

Fabulous Simple and more than tasty, I tried it, and it was such a success that my fiancé proposed to me! I will need to make more to keep him. My suggestion: Add a whole yogurt for more sauce and creaminess, it's quick and easy to make, especially since I’m a novice, highly recommended! -

Good recipe Very good recipe. I found the taste of tikka masala chicken. My suggestion: I only used 1.5 teaspoons of fresh ginger, which is enough; otherwise, the dish is too spicy. The same goes for cayenne pepper; a simple pinch is sufficient. Tikka masala is a mildly spiced dish. There's no need to use 3 tablespoons of oil; 1 tablespoon is enough. And for garam masala, I used 1 teaspoon because with the ginger, my dish was already spicy enough. I find that if you follow the proportions given in the recipe, this dish is too spicy for tikka masala. -
