I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Tikka Masala. Something about the creamy blend of tomatoes, spicy peppers, and Indian seasonings makes my taste buds sing! I make this recipe just about every other week and it never gets old. Even better, it’s so easy to make. Only four short steps separate you from this delicious, nutritious meal. If you don’t want to make the sauce yourself, you can also use any store-bought tikka masala sauce. It saves a little bit of time to buy the sauce pre-made, but I think it’s actually one of the reasons that this dish is so great!
If you love Indian food as much as we do (and you probably do), be sure to give this recipe a try. When you do, don’t forget to tag Sweet Pea Living on Facebook or Instagram and use the hashtag #sweetpealiving to share it. I would love to see how your recipe turns out!
