I swapped out the garlic powder for 2 cloves crushed garlic and added a med. diced onion.  8)

That looks good and it seems like a quick and easy recipe, I did some wild rice up the other night with curry seasonings in it and I bet it would go good with this dish.

Thanks Saber 4 and I think your rice would do well with this dish.I think the next time around I'll marinate and grill the chicken.  8)

You might try marinating and throw it in the smoker to cook, then sauce it up at the end. Just a thought

Also a good idea.Marinating and then grilling or smoking the chicken and adding the sauce,the dish is now called Tikka Masala. 8)

Looks good. When I lived in Singapore we used to take trips to Delhi and Agara.   Learned to cook with a tandooor and got really good at Murgh Makhani(butter chicken) and mutton vindaloo. With the butter chicken traditionally it uses bits of leftover tandooried chicken so that's how I do it. If anyone would like them I can post my tandoori marinade and Murgh Makhani recipes which we picked up from over there.

I'll raise my hand for those recipes, I would love to try and duplicate it for my dad who loves both.

Awesome! I haven't posted them to the recipies in dev page because I wasn't sure how many people would actually try them. I am happily corrected. :) Stay tuned. Will post them in the next day or so.

Yeah post away Dano, I'd be interested. I have often found it hard to avoid a butter chicken sauce splitting when you add the cream.

Howdy all!  I'm going to post the tandoori chicken and murgh makhani in a few minutes in the 'recipies in development' section although they're not really developmental recipies. (I've made these a few dozen times since returning from Singapore in 2010 and haven't changed a thing)

Stay tuned!

TIP:
Note that if you're making the murgh makhani(butter chicken) I usually just make a double batch of the tandoori chicken; half goes on skewers and half goes into the wok(still uncooked) to fry up before I introduce the butter chicken gravy.  I find cooking it in the wok and then adding the gravy so all the flavours meld vs cooking the chicken on skewers and then dropping it in the gravy makes it taste much better.
