Masala Recipes

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!

Adapted from an AllRecipes recipe of Tikki Masala: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/chicken-tikk

Cut down on half the salt, and the amount of food created for 4 servings was rather high, so cut each serving in half. Also, removed the jalapeno, since it turned out spicy enough. (If you prefer more heat, feel free to add the jalapeno in).

Pre-measured spice card and Recipe by Mc Cormick spices. Changed chicken to 4 (1/2's) of chicken breast - 4 servings.

A lower-calorie, non-traditional twist on the warm Indian curry - but delicious nonetheless. This recipe uses eggplant cubes and a saucier tomato base to thin out the density of chickpeas, while still providing that tart-and-spicy heartiness unique to chana masala. Served with crispy tofu slices, it's vegan friendly, but it will please the omnivores, too.

Modified by using Curry powder instead of Garam masala powder, Curry leaves and Tumeric powder, because I didn't have those ingredients, but I'm sure it would have been better if I had mixed my own.

17 day diet adaption of Indian Chicken tikka Masala

This is my maternal Grandma Aaji's Recipe.This is very tasty but has very little Juice--meant for those who love to eat the pickled raw Green Mangos.I make both types because for me Memories of this are connected to my childhood--when this would arrive at our home in Chandigarh from Poona where my Grandparents lived.Again this too is served by Teaspoons and eaten as a Condiment---sinced it is pickled in Salt and Oil!!

Cut the onion/fennel thinner than you would for a slaw - extra thin, but not quite whisper thin. You can buy garam masala spice blends, or make your own from spices like cardamom, cloves, cumin, and cinnamon.

This is a great healthy recipe for those spicy food lovers out there!
Make sure you continue to stir the masala and add a little more water if it starts to dry out.
I tend to substitute the garlic between crushed cloves, dried, powder, puree, or lazy garlic.

This is a North Indian preperation of Bhindi is also known as Okra.

everyone loves chicken tikka masala but heavy cream is a no no for dieting. That's why for this curry you won't need cream, only yoghurt :-)

This very easy recipe works either as a curry over rice or as a great alternative to hummus. Serve hot or cold with fresh vegetables, naan, pita, or baked tortilla chips. It's a good way to get enough fibre into your diet!

Don't let the long ingredient list fool you! This comes together fast and is easy to make.

Butter Chicken is one of the most popular Indian dishes worldwide - often referred to as Murgh Makhani on restaurant menus, this dish is rich, creamy and flavoursome. A perfect alternative to Korma for those who like their curries fairly mild, it really is one of those dishes that is destined to become a firm favourite in any household. This recipe involves making Butter Chicken the traditional way - marinating the chicken first and then making the buttery Makhani sauce.

Delicious, Fool Proof, Fast.

My only complaint about a lot of Indian food is that it often lacks green veggies, which add so much color and nutrients. I usually top this recipe with fresh baby spinach and/or cilantro.
