DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy! Submitted by YIYEHTOV Carbs: 9.9g | Fat: 6.6g | Fiber: 2.4g | Protein: 29.2g | Calories: 214.6
