Tikka masala mix

Apparently, chicken tikka masala is now the most popular dish in the UK.

So much for fish and chips by the sea in Whitby.

Maybe somebody should mix things up and start making fish tikka masala and chips.

Anyway, Spicymonkey's tikka mix is a powder which can be used in a couple of ways.

A tablespoon of the powder mixed into about 100ml of natural yoghurt makes the delicious tikka marinade. Coat this onto meat before grilling or BBQ-ing and devour the juicy stuff with a nice cold beer.

Alternatively you can use it like a curry powder. After frying some onions and any meat or vegetables you like, add some tikka mix with some chopped tomatoes and simmer until the sauce has thickened enough. Stir in some natural yoghurt and you have a beautiful tikka masala sauce. Yummy.
