Introduction
Adapted from an AllRecipes recipe of Tikki Masala: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/chicken-tikka-masala/Detail.aspx
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). Adapted from an AllRecipes recipe of Tikki Masala: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/chicken-tikk
