Tonight I tried my hand at Indian food! I made chicken tikka masala. I ate it with naan, but i'll admit I used store bought instead of making it.
I followed the recipe completely, besides using hot pepper flakes instead of jalapeño pepper.
At the step that said to 'strain the chicken', the marinade had sort of lost its moisture and therefore nothing really came off.
I made (at the same time) a tofu version of this for my housemate because she really wanted Indian food. I looked up a recipe for tofu tikka masala, and it was completely different ingredients than the one I was using. But I used it for the cooking instructions for the tofu. Once the tofu had finished baking, I put it in a pan with some of the sauce (before I put my chicken into it).
It was very good, but got progressively spicier as I ate it. When I first tried the sauce while it was cooking it wasn't spicy enough so I added extra cayenne/hot pepper flakes. As I poured them in I went 'hmm, that may have been too much'. Turns out it was a liiiiiiittle excessive. Good none the less!
