No need to call the doctor though, it's all good. I don't know if you've tried Tikka Masala before, but it's my children's favorite. Every time we go out to eat, an Indian restaurant is always near the top of their wish list - and they always want the tikka. I can barely get them to try anything else since they like it so much.A long time ago one of my friends invited me over for homemade chicken tikka masala.&nbsp; I had no idea that food could be so good. &nbsp; Even so, I shortly forgot about her delightful Indian chicken dish until sometime this year, when all of a sudden I discovered an insatiable craving for the delightful combo of the sweet, somewhat spicy and savory sauce, served over a bed of jasmine or Basmati Rice.I found a store-bought version in a jar that I used in an attempt to quell my craving, but somewhere inside I knew.&nbsp; That jar.&nbsp; That expiration date, so far in the future.&nbsp; Preservatives lurking somewhere beyond the label.&nbsp;&nbsp; I studied the ingredients listed and decided that I could come up with my own version with coconut milk and a few other pantry staples and have quite an easy and tasty alternative to that delicious dish I tasted so many years ago.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.&nbsp; 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.Trust me, it\u2019s spicy if you make it this way.&nbsp; But this tikka masala with coconut milk and greek yogurt recipe is goooood, so good, just the way it is.&nbsp; I wouldn\u2019t change a thing!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\u2019d 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 Indian&nbsp;recipes?&nbsp; Do you make your own curry or buy the premixed kind?PrintRecipeclock clock iconcutlery cutlery iconflag flag iconfolder folder iconinstagram instagram iconpinterest pinterest iconfacebook facebook iconprint print iconsquares squares iconheart heart iconheart solid heart solid icon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealthy Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe with Greek Yogurt, Chickpeas and Maple Syrup\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Star\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 from 3 reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor: Rebecca Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrep Time: 20 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCook Time: 20 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTotal Time: 40 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYield: 4 1x\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory: Main Course\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCuisine: Gluten-Free\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDescription\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI love the flavor of this gluten-free chicken tikka masala and I like the health benefits from the greek yogurt and this recipe isn't too hard.
