Why This Recipe Works
Marinated Chicken: Marinating the chicken in yogurt tenderizes it and infuses deep flavors.
Balanced Spices: Using a well-rounded tikka masala spice mix creates a harmonious flavor profile.
Rich Sauce: Coconut milk adds creaminess to the sauce, balancing the spices with a touch of sweetness.
Chef's Pro Tip: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor absorption.
