Notes
Slightly twist the chicken before removing from the skewers, this would help them loosen up and come off easily without hurting your fingers.
Canned tomatoes works well for this recipe.
Store bought tikka masala will give good restaurant style taste.
The above recipe is made using Maggi Chicken Tikka Masala available in all Indian grocery stores.
