Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Tikka masala is known for its balance—creamy, tangy, and gently spiced. This version takes a shortcut using Tasty Indian Bistro’s sauces, so you get that slow-simmered flavour in a fraction of the time.

It’s also incredibly versatile. Chicken, paneer, tofu, or even chickpeas all work beautifully here making it easy to tailor to your preferences.

Ingredients

• 1 jar Tasty Butter Sauce
• 1 jar Tasty Traditional Curry
• 250 ml whole cream
• 500 g protein of choice (chicken, paneer, tofu, etc.)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 250 g green peppers
• 250 g chopped onions
• 250 g crushed tomatoes
• Fresh cilantro

Method

Cook on medium heat for best results.

Start by heating butter in a pan. Add your protein along with the chopped onions and green peppers, and sauté until everything is cooked through and lightly browned. This step builds the base flavour and adds that satisfying texture.

Next, pour in both jars of Tasty sauces. This is where the magic happens—the rich, layered spices come together instantly.

Add the cream and crushed tomatoes, stirring gently to combine. Return your protein and vegetables to the pan if you’ve set them aside, and let everything simmer. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil so the flavours can fully develop and meld together.

Once the sauce is thick, glossy, and aromatic, remove from heat and garnish generously with fresh cilantro.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your tikka masala hot with fluffy basmati rice and warm naan bread. The creamy sauce pairs perfectly with both, making every bite indulgent and satisfying.
