Ingredients Required For Making Chicken Tikka Masala –
* Boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 & 1/2 inch pieces – 450 gm/16 oz. You can even use chicken breast .
* Garlic – 40 gm/1.4 oz / 12 to 13 cloves
* Ginger – 40 gm/1.4 oz/ 2 inch length
Make a paste of ginger and garlic in your blender with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. You can even grate them using the fine holes of your grater if you do not have a blender.
*For marinating chicken-

* Lemon/lime juice – 2 tablespoons
* Plain unflavored Greek yogurt – 3 tablespoons. You can even use plain unflavored yogurt(curd) but in that case put the measured quantity in a tea strainer. Rest the strainer on a bowl and keep it in the fridge for an hour. The excess liquid will drain off and you will get this thick consistency .
* salt – 1 teaspoon or as desired.
* sugar – 1/4 th teaspoon
Marinate the chicken in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, overnight will be better. Take it out from the refrigerator about an hour before you plan to cook. Discard the marinade and fry only the chicken.
