the wonderful world of curry it’s a confusing one I get it a lot of people don’t really get it alright that you put a little bit in the pan you put some curry powder and you’re done no just no let’s explore this one together before we actually talk about that let’s discuss the Krispy Kreme by better a lot of people think that my donut was not as good as Krispy Kremes because I made the donut hole you noticed fine but you can have it I shouldn’t let that happen that was very stupid the point is I want you to understand that there’s gonna be a rematch and I will make sure that it is but until then we’re gonna just gonna have to wait on though okay so we’re making chicken tikka masala these but this is a more spiced version there’s definitely still cream there’s definitely still butter and there’s definitely still Tomatoes but it’s the spicing anyway with that said let’s make this shall we okay so we need to start off by spicing things up with literal spices first get a small pan and add one tablespoon or four grams of coriander seeds along with half a teaspoon or one gram of cumin seeds keep that bad boy over medium heat tossing often until fragrant and toasted about two minutes remove from the pan and let them spicy boys cool for a little bit in a blender add your spices slap around in there a little bit until as fine as possible then add seven cloves of garlic a two inch knob of fresh peeled ginger 1 tablespoon or seven grams of garam masala 1 TSP or 3 grams of turmeric powder and 2 red Fresno or Birds Eye Chili’s stems removed obviously lastly a quarter cup of water then go ahead and begin blending this you’ll need to use your trusty blender plunger if you have one to help get it smooth once it’s mostly smooth go and drizzle in two tablespoons or 30 milliliters of canola oil while blending now keep on blending until nicely incorporated and smooth remember this ain’t no chunky salsa it’s your curry paste as smooth as possible ok so before we get started on the actual curry gravy let’s give this chickie a little yogurt bath but look this is a crucial step please don’t skip this or I’ll be family angry with you so first cut 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs tongue twister into bite-size pieces in a bowl mix together 1 cup or 250 5 grams of whole milk yogurt 2 tablespoons or 30 grams of your tikka masala paste and two teaspoons or six grams of kosher salt then toss your chicken in the yogurt mixture cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator now obviously we’re gonna serve this curry with rice but please do me a favor I really gonna note this if you don’t wash your rice its time no more procrastinating please I am begging you please rinse and drain it at least two to three times before cooking I know a lot of people know this but look I cooked my bath body with a one to one ratio of water to rice and some cardamom pubs in a pressure cooker at high pressure for 6 minutes and then a natural release for 8 minutes or some mad good Baz Maggi bros to make the funnel curry blend one 28-ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes past that period mixture through a sieve and place up to the satoru nee now heat a large saute pan or a medium sized pot over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom syria chicken on both sides till nicely brown about 3 to 4 minutes each side and placed it aside as well now once all your chicken is seared and you have a nice little fond in the bottom of your pan reduce the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons or 56 grams of unsalted butter once it’s hot and bubbly add one large diced sweet onion let that cook until the onion begins to turn translucent then add all of your remaining tikka masala paste plus 1 tablespoon or seven grams of paprika and 1 teaspoon or two grams of Kashmiri chilli powder cook that stirring often until the pace begins to stick to the bottom of the pan then add your pureed tomatoes stir nicely and bring that up to a simmer over medium heat let that simmer for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally until it becomes thickened and then finally you can add one and a quarter cup or 300 millilitres of heavy cream mix until thoroughly combined add your chicken back to the pan as well coated in the sauce and bring that back up to a simmer simmer an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened velvety smooth and gorgeous season that to taste with salt and serve alongside some lovely steamed basmati rice garnish with fresh cilantro and now we must first pass this dish with a trial by fire and by fire I mean in my mouth and by my mouth I mean I’m gonna eat it right so proper spoon tikka masala let’s go brav that’s how you know it’s real silver right [Music] Wow I mean come on you gotta be joking me with this Fisher’s out of all the parties you could be making this is easily going to be one of the best that you ever make in your life Wow for one my rice is cooked perfectly all right I may be white but I can cook directly okay you get the point this is ridiculous how perfect this tastes a little spicy a little bit of sweetness from the tomato all the flavors meld together exactly what you want and more of its creamy perfectly the rice the texture ah that’s a ten so okay okay but do you wanna know what else is so good [Music] alright guys and that is it so we made chicken tikka masala I think it turned out honestly I don’t to use the word perfect but pretty darn close to that he heard look I may be white okay but I do try to stay as close culturally as I can to the right way of doing it in terms of tradition I’m using a couple different things to do this it’s the prior knowledge that I’ve learned from other chefs on the basics of curry and then also just in general some flavors that I personally feel balancing wise makes sense in this recipe that’s my personal tape the haters are gonna come in you are welcome and entitled to that opinion but I will say that it is delicious so that’s the word bro there are some crazy things in the works right now god I wish I could talk about all of it you’re gonna see in the coming weeks and months and years but man the amount of opportunities that you guys have afforded me is is it’s just absolutely shocking honestly to say the least so I just want to say I used to say this all the time and I haven’t said it as much recently but I’m always thinking about it I’m just so grateful for you guys very very thankful for all these opportunities I want to make sure that you guys know
