My husband loves Indian food. I suspect that was a strong factor in his choosing to go to India on an MBA school trip a few years ago. He has made some amazing Indian food at home so it's a little intimidating for me. I found this recipe for Butter Chicken aka Tikka Masala. It turned out delicious. This was one of the best things I made and opened me up to making more Indian food.
When I told my husband I made the recipe for the challenge he said, "Oh. I thought you made it for me because you know I love Indian food," HA! Well since then I've made a lot more.
Sounds like my husband! He loves Indian, too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! And for your husband. You were brave to try a new recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat's when you say, "Oh, yes, of course, dear! That silly challenge was a distant second."
ReplyDeleteI didn't know butter chicken was the same thing as chicken tikka masala. When I made tikka masala a few years ago, it involved so many steps and so much work, I've never bothered again.
I thought they were different too but then I made both and they were the same. I also saw people AKAed them.
DeleteWhen I heard "butter chicken," I thought of the episode of Aarti Party where she made a flavored butter and stuffed it under the skin of a chicken breast. Apparently not the same thing.
