Introduction
Delicious Chicken Tikka Masala with spinach! Tastes almost like at the indian restaraunt but for half the calories and low fat. I add spinach to it too add a bit more veggies to the meal, but if you want it the traditional way, you would omit that. Delicious Chicken Tikka Masala with spinach!
