THE BEST CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA
Chicken Tikka Masala is thought to have been created by a Bangladeshi chef in Glasgow in the 1960s. It's a spicy, tomato-based dish seasoned with garlic, ginger, fenugreek and garam masala. In this recipe we used fenugreek leaves for their nutty and slightly minty flavor. If you can't find them, substitute dried mint leaves and a pinch of ground fenugreek. Garam masala is a popular Indian spice blend that usually includes black and white pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, cardamom, bay, cumin and coriander. It's pretty easy to find in your local grocery store and most national spice companies.

Steps:
- For the chicken marinade: Whisk together the yogurt, ginger, salt, chili powder, garam masala, pepper, turmeric and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Toss the chicken in the spiced yogurt marinade until evenly coated. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.)
- For the sauce: Melt the ghee in a large Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions and serrano, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and the ginger starts to turn golden and sticks to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fenugreek leaves, garam masala, chili powder and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up into pieces with a spoon, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and the tomatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Let the hot sauce cool for about 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender filling no more than halfway. (If your blender is small, you may need to work in batches.) Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and puree until creamy. Pour into a clean pot and bring to a simmer. Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, position a rack directly under the broiler and preheat to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the rack. Broil until the chicken starts to brown in spots, 3 to 6 minutes per side (it will not be cooked through). Remove from the broiler. When cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the simmering sauce, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Top the chicken and sauce with cilantro. Serve with rice and naan.

15 BEST MARSALA WINE SUBSTITUTES - KITCHENOUS
From kitchenous.com
- Madeira. Madeira is the closest substitute for marsala wine you can use as it is almost identical in terms of color and flavor. Made with five types of grapes, Madeira has a strong flavor and is enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert.
- Fortified Wine. Fortified wines have been improved with a distilled spirit, generally brandy. Since marsala and Madeira wine are both fortified wines, using another variety can offer a close flavor and color match in sweet and savory cooking.
- Dry Sherry. When using dry sherry instead of marsala wine in your cooking, make sure to use drinking sherry and not cooking sherry. Cooking sherry wine has a higher sodium content that will change the taste of your recipe somewhat.
- Sherry and Sweet Vermouth Combination. To add more intensity of flavor to dry sherry, combine it with sweet vermouth. Use equal amounts of sherry and sweet vermouth to make up a complex, full-bodied marsala wine substitute.
- Amontillado Wine and Pedro Ximenez. Amontillado is a variety of sherry that originated in the 18th century in Spain. Amontillado is a suitable substitute when your recipe calls for dry marsala wine.
- Port Wine. Port is generally associated with sweet dishes and desserts. It makes a great base for braising or poaching pears. Port also comes in dry, rose, and semi-dry varieties making these port options suitable to use in savory dishes as well.
- White Grape Juice with Brandy. Using white grape juice with a touch of brandy or even cognac makes for an easy last-minute substitute while cooking. Use the following ratios to combine your ingredients
- Non-Fortified Wine. Standard white wines can be used as a substitute for marsala wine in your recipe. As with a grape juice substitute, you can add a small amount of brandy or cognac for an improved depth of flavor.
- Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is readily available in most liquor and grocery stores, making it an easy substitute for when you can’t get your hands on marsala wine.
- White Grape Juice and Sherry Vinegar. For the best non-alcoholic alternative, combine the following ingredients: ¼ cup white grape juice, 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar.
