Gluten-Free Chicken Tikka Masala

The basics of this recipe break down traditional curry powder, but like most people, I personally have all of the separate spices on hand more often.  Also, when you break the combination apart, you can omit ingredients, such as the poblano pepper, to adjust to your desired level of spicy, or double up on the more beneficial ones, like fresh ginger, if you need a little digestive boost.

Gluten-Free Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe

Serve on top of a bed of Jasmine or Basmati Rice, with chickpeas on the side, or my personal preference, mix it all in together.    If you are like me and have a garden full of tomatoes right now, I’d even go for making your own tomato sauce, if you have the time, that is.

That part takes A LOT of time!!

Do you have any favorite curry recipes?  Do you make your own curry or buy the premixed kind?

  • 12 oz. Tomato Paste
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Garlic Cloves chopped
  • 1 Poblano Pepper
  • (this is what grows in my garden. I’m sure any variation of pepper or multiple peppers will do!)
