use the Tandoori Chicken in the Tikka
Masala (Butter Chicken Sauce) recipe
(Page 71).
NOTE:
Citric acid, found in foods such a
orange, lemon and lime juice, may
damage the porcelain enamel finish
of the baking pan and broiling rack.
When cooking foods with high
citric acid content, we strongly
recommend lining the enamel
surfaces with foil or baking paper to
extend the life of these accessories.
5. Add tomato sauce, sugar, salt and
pepper and bring the sauce to a boil.
Turn the heat down to a low simmer and
continue cooking for 15 minutes. Add the
cream and ground cashews (optional)
and cook for an additional 5 minutes
stirring occasionally.
6. Cut Tandoori Chicken into large pieces
and put them into the sauce and cook
for 10 minutes occasionally stirring
gently.
Serve the Tikka Masala (Butter Chicken)
over fragrant steamed basmati rice
decorated with freshly chopped cilantro.
