Tikka Masala Sauce or Tikka Masala Curry is one gravy that almost everyone loves. It’s popular across the globe because it’s love at first bite. The thick creamy texture, wonderful aroma and flavors from the spices are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
It’s been a crazy busy week for me. I leave for Everything Food Conference mid-week and I need to make sure I have some food sorted for Little A and Dr.Mystery. Writing down meals and schedules for Dr.Mystery and meal prepping myself. Although Dr.Mystery is an amazing cook himself, it’s going to be a rough week for all of us. So Curry to the rescue, atleast for a couple meals. Curry is a staple for us, be it the 30 minute Indian Masala Curry which is made with cashews or everyones favorite Tikka Masala Sauce / Tikka Masala Curry. This time it was turn for the Tikka Masala (video recipe below).
Remember I mentioned about Soniya and her family visiting NC last weekend. We were trying out Instant Pot recipes and after trying the Instant Pot Vegan Arrabiatta Pasta and Instant Pot Vegetable Quinoa Soup, we made a big batch of Tikka Masala Sauce / Tikka Masala Curry. One because how could we not have a Tikka Masala Sauce / Tikka Masala Curry recipe on the blog and second I am leaving for Everything Food Conference, so it would definitely come handy to Dr.Mystery and Little A.
A perfect curry or sauce to meal prep. A large batch is ready in just 30 minutes. We made this Tikka Masala Sauce in the Instant Pot, but you can make it in a pressure cooker or a saucepan too. Store them in airtight glass containers or zip locks and your done. For lunch/dinner, thaw it and warm it up in a skillet or a grill pan. Toss in your favorite vegetables and grilled protein and Tikka Masala is ready. The grilled veggies and protein is what set this curry apart. You can add more flavors while grilling. Our Tofu Tikkas would be an awesome addition to this curry. Pair it with Rotis/ Parathas (Indian Flatbreads) or Rice and you won’t be disappointed at all.
We wanted to test the recipe before it was published on TBRTM and trust me the whole process turned out to be simple and easy. Didn’t take up a lot of time also. Since the curry which takes up the majority of the time to cook was already ready, we just grilled some peppers and Tofu and that’s it. Our delicious restaurant style homemade Tikka Masala was ready. No added color or preservative, it’s made with fresh ingredients. Yum yum!!!
