Hey Friends,
It is no secret, that I love myself some Indian food. It is indescribably delicious and satisfies just about any craving! But sadly, for an empty-pocket student like me, Indian cuisine in Germany is quite expensive. I always justified the price, because I thought that there are many fancy, hard-to-get ingredients needed. Oh, how wrong I was.
This simple recipe makes a delicious Chicken Tikka Masala without any fancy spices. It might not be like the traditional recipe, but it is simple and delicious! I even put a peanut spin on the dish, because you know your girl likes herself some nut butter.
Make it for friends and family, and you will wow them with the illusion of a super-difficult meal. I guarantee this is a recipe you will not regret making!
