Tikka masala: Chunks of roasted marinated chicken (tikka) in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce. Thought to have been created in Britain, possibly in Glasgow, rather than in India, and now one of the most popular dishes in Britain; paneer tikka masala is the vegetarian version. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala.
Tikka: Boneless cubes marinated and grilled on skewers in the tandoor. Chicken tikka is the yogurt-and-spice version; malai tikka is marinated in cream and cheese for a mild, silky result; hariyali is a green marinade of mint, cilantro and spinach; paneer tikka is the vegetarian standard, often with peppers and onion on the skewer. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala.
Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one. Garam masala ("warm blend") is the finishing mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper and other whole spices toasted and ground, added at the end of cooking for aroma rather than heat. Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala.
