**The Art of Preparing a Delicious Chicken Tikka Masala**

This recipe is a culmination of several different recipes that have been combined to create a truly unique and flavorful dish. We start by gathering our ingredients, which include two tablespoons of cumin seeds, five or six cloves of garlic, three tablespoons of ginger, one tablespoon of canola oil, two medium yellow onions, three Roma tomatoes diced up, three large jalapeno peppers, five small Thai peppers, one cinnamon stick, 2.5 cups of chicken broth, paneer cubes, coconut cream, ground almonds, and tomato paste.

**Adding the Initial Ingredients**

The first step in preparing our Chicken Tikka Masala is to heat the canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil has heated up, we add the cumin seeds, garlic, and ginger. We sauté these ingredients until they are fragrant, which should take about a minute or two. Next, we add the onions to the pan and cook them until they are translucent. We use two medium yellow onions in this recipe, and it's worth noting that they need to be cooked until they are golden brown in order to bring out their natural sweetness.

**Adding the Spices and Tomatoes**

Once the onions have finished cooking, we add the tomatoes to the pan, along with three large jalapeno peppers and five small Thai peppers. These peppers will add a spicy kick to our dish, but feel free to adjust the amount of heat to your liking. We also add a cinnamon stick to the pan, which will give our sauce a warm and aromatic flavor.

**Adding the Chicken Broth**

After we have added all of the ingredients to the pan, we pour in 2.5 cups of chicken broth. This is where the magic happens, as the broth will help to thicken the sauce and bring out the flavors of the other ingredients. We use a regular chicken broth in this recipe, but feel free to use low-sodium broth if you prefer.

**Simmering the Sauce**

Once we have added all of the ingredients to the pan, we bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. We let the sauce simmer for about 20-25 minutes, which will allow it to thicken and develop its full flavor.

**Adding the Paneer and Blending**

While the sauce is still simmering, we add in the paneer cubes that have been marinating in the same mixture as the sauce. The paneer will absorb all of the flavors from the sauce and become tender and creamy. We also blend a portion of the sauce in our Vitamix to make it smooth and creamy.

**Adding the Final Ingredients**

Once we have added the paneer to the pan, we add in one and a half cups of coconut cream. This will give our sauce a rich and creamy texture that is perfect for serving over rice or with some naan bread. We also add three tablespoons of ground almonds to the pan, which will help to thicken the sauce even further.

**Adding Tomato Paste**

Finally, we add in slightly less than a tablespoon of tomato paste to the pan. This will give our sauce a deep and intense flavor that is characteristic of many Indian dishes.

**Serving and Enjoying**

Our Chicken Tikka Masala is now ready to be served. We serve it hot over rice or with some naan bread, accompanied by a dollop of yogurt and a side of coriander chutney. The combination of flavors in this dish is truly unique and delicious, and we highly recommend giving it a try.

**A Note on the Amount of Paneer**

We want to take a moment to note that the amount of paneer used in this recipe is quite generous. Some recipes call for as little as three pounds of paneer, while others may use even more. We found that 28 ounces of paneer was sufficient for our needs, but feel free to adjust the amount based on your personal preference.

**Tips and Variations**

This recipe is highly customizable, so feel free to experiment with different spices and ingredients to make it your own. If you prefer a spicier sauce, be sure to add more jalapenos or Thai peppers. If you prefer a creamier sauce, add more coconut cream or try using half-and-half instead. The possibilities are endless!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entalk to me baby I've been waiting for a lifetime hey guys welcome back and good morning it's about 11 A.M we are kicking off another video we are in the car right now heading to go take care of some errands today so right now I'm on my way to Home Depot need to make some returns and then I need to go to two different grocery stores and then go to the dry cleaners so we got a few things that we're tackling today right now the cleaners are at our house uh taking care of business because our house was in deep need of some quality deep cleaning so that's happening right now feeling great about that and yeah as I was driving I was like you know what let's go ahead and kick off video we're getting out and about I feel like the last few videos have been a lot of at-home content so I figured I would bring you guys along to uh you know some outside Adventures outside of the house not outside outside but leaving the house Adventures so let's get this bad boy started if you guys haven't already don't forget subscribe below give me a big thumbs up and let's get going all right so I just got to Home Depot I don't know if you can kind of see through the window there but I just got here I need to make my return so in the back seat um I have these two sump pumps these like Mega things of vinegar concentrate big old things of baking soda and some of those um like kind of like sandbags but they are different so they start flat they absorb the water and then become a barrier once they've like inflated with water and I had bought a bunch of that stuff when we thought that our house was going to be flooding and we didn't end up using either of the sump pumps and then Darren's dad had brought down this really really powerful one um that was like double the strength of both of these so he set that one up so we sold that one at our house but the river has dropped down I'd say at least 20 feet at this point so like now it's kind of back to like normal level so we are definitely not in any risk of flooding anytime soon and majority of the storms are gone I mean today beautiful blue skies completely clear not even a single cloud in wow really not single cloud in sight but I digress so back on topic um we don't need any of this stuff we still do have all the sandbags like the actual sandbags and all that stuff so we have plenty of flood supplies in case anything does actually happen but at this point we're we're out of the woods with that see what I mean about this guy though literally not a single Cloud anywhere completely clear day foreign like a job well done so glad I remembered about that before we ran out of the or we were out of the return window because I think we only had a couple more days it's already been like three weeks so feeling good off to the Indian store I found everything that I need I just need to get some rice and then off to Raley's this is literally the least amount of dry cleaning I have had in months usually I come in and it's like three loads like overflowing almost falling over like yeah we're coming more often all right drop off is all done time to head to the grocery store does this happen to you guys where like as soon as you get in your car your GPS on your phone just like buzzes and is like it will take you know like 23 minutes or six minutes or however long to get home and starts trying to like kick start the GPS to get you home like first off I know you know that I can't get anywhere but like you don't need to remind me every time I get in a car and also why do I think I'm going home like you think I have no life there's no way I could possibly have somewhere else I need to go like they're trying to send me home at every possible chance like give me a minute I got some other stuff I need to do believe it or not geez thank you I am sick and tired of my tire pressure just going down there's something clearly wrong with my tire but I'm too lazy to actually go get effect thank you there is something seriously in my tire because the tire pressure leaks out every like two weeks I had to go refill it again I really just need to go to like Jiffy Lube and they can fill in the hole and yeah I just really need to do that I just always forget and then every time I'm at the grocery store I'm like oh I should probably just you know fill up the air so at least it's not a safety issue but probably ought to get that actually fixed soon hey guys back home it's been a little bit the cleaners finished and left so now I'm gonna start prepping part of our dinner so tonight we are making a paneer makni um basically where it's like butter chicken but instead of doing chicken we're gonna do paneer so paneer is like the vegetarian um alternative to me it's kind of like um it tastes like a cross of tofu and some kind of like cheese heard like a firm cheese so the brand that we always use is called Gopi and they do have a few different types of paneer um based on like How firm you want it kind of like tofu so um when you make a recipe like this whether it's butter chicken or you're using paneer you do need to marinate it so for the marinade I'm using one and a half cups of Greek yogurt um you're supposed to use whole milk Greek yogurt however for the brand that I like which is uh massage or phage this one um the only one that they had in stock at Raley's was the zero percent fat so this is just the marinade um not necessarily the sauce so I'm not too worried about it I've actually had this exact issue before and it works just fine so one and a half cups of Greek yogurt again ideally full fat Greek yogurt and then two tablespoons of lemon juice two tablespoons of gram masala two tablespoons of ground cumin and one and a half tablespoons of ground turmeric the recipe does call for three pounds of meat however that ends up being a lot of meat however we are both sauce people so we prefer less meat more of the sauce so what we do is we use two of these packages and each of these packages are each 14 ounces so we end up with 28 ounces and that is sufficient I mean every time in every scoop you have a lot of sauce and you do have pieces of paneer in every single one so yeah that hasn't been an issue for us so that's the way that we prefer to do it so when we're cutting it usually I cut them into um slices so just from this I just cut it this way and about this thick so what is that like a quarter inch yeah say it's about a quarter inch and then I cut it in half and then in half again so I end up with pieces like this so that's how I cut them but what I do like to do before I cut all of it because then it like fills up my cutting board I do like to pre-mix the marinade and as far as the spices if you guys want to make this yourself and you don't have like an Indian market near you um I actually have ordered it many times just uh from Amazon so this is the grand Masala and majority of the um the spices that we have are that brand but I have found that all of those seem to be pretty good quality all of my recipes have turned out well and true to taste um how like you know some of them you can tell that it's cheap I haven't really experienced that um with any of those Brands so I just finished cutting the paneer and I mixed it up as you can see there there's not a whole lot of extra marinade there's basically the perfect amount however I did realize that I was so busy chit chatting with you guys that I forgot to add the two tablespoons of lemon juice so I am going to add that now and that also helps uh thin out the mixture a bit and it looks great so now I'm just going to go ahead and Saran Wrap This stick it in the fridge and we'll come back to it in a few hours I am so scattered everywhere so I I'm just now doing the dishes from um making that marinade and I stopped re-vacuumed the entire house mind you the cleaners just left however I noticed there were a few things on the ground here a few dog hairs over there and I just decided to re-vacuum the entire house and then I was like you know what I don't like how my spices are organized I was trying to find a spot to put away um some of the ones that I was using and I was like I feel like I can never find anything so then so then I decided to go through all of my spices and all we have three spice rocks um around the kitchen again why are they not together we don't know someone who doesn't cook uh designed this kitchen um but I went through all three spice racks went through the dates of all of them and then the ones that were the same thing and around the same date I combined all of them into the expiration date that was the soonest you know what I mean so I didn't accidentally use some expired product um did all of that and then I proceeded to reorganize all of the spices which actually I'm very happy about but I keep taking on these random projects like then I was gonna go through um all of our sauces we had like a sauce cabinet and go through all the dates which I do periodically every few months I go through everything check all the dates and I reorganize everything and I was about to start doing that and then I was like I never even finished the dishes over here so now I'm doing the dishes I'm just everywhere I don't I don't know what's going on oh and then I was like oh the laundry should be done should I go move it up and go fold the one no let's finish one thing at a time I feel like I'm in control of my life and my house is clean so I'm like how can I take this to the next level you know oh my gosh guys I have done it again um I went to put something away under my bathroom sink and I realized that it was really messy and it just everything piled on top of itself like baskets on top of each other and just like it was honestly filled almost to the top of the cabinet um just because nothing was put in a wasn't organized at all basically so I went through everything got rid of a bunch of stuff and I reorganized and um it looks great I'll show you guys but um I'm out of control like I need to just I need to stop I have no chill today um I just I'm trying to reorganize my entire house so in here I have all of my backup makeup I have some Band-Aids my backup makeup wipes um brand new um like eyeshadow palettes and stuff and here I have um all like my mouth stuff so these are all like my whitening strips and travel um toothpaste and toothbrushes and stuff so it's just ready to go and then all of my backup toothbrushes and toothpaste and then these are just all of my travel minis so it's just ready to take and go and then of course mouthwash back here I have all of my backup shampoos conditioners face wash body wash dry shampoo hairspray um perfume face wash I think I already said that and then um hair mask and then back there I have all like my um like backup deodorant tampon pads all of that jazz so I have everything just all organized and all of my little bins and I mean look how much spare space we have like this looks excellent so we went from like I couldn't even see like where the gold turns to like bronze um yeah it was filled all the way to there just like mountains of things because it just wasn't organized well so now that looks great and then I went into here so this drawer is like my Nail Care drawer so I went through all my nail polishes and I got rid of a bunch that um well actually I probably ought to get rid of this one too you can kind of see how it's like separating um although this one's fair I only got that one a few months ago actually that one should be fine I think it's just separated but I have all of my different nail polishes for like French white tip the little pen nail buffers cuticle Cutters and nail cutter acetone these are the three um nail files I'm using right now but this box is a bunch of new nail files so this is kind of just like my Nail Care and then unfortunately I couldn't really fit anywhere um fit my little cotton balls anywhere so I just kind of set them on top so I'm having a cleaning intervention with myself dad just got home hey time it's my time what are you guys doing oh are you excited for playtime okay so Darren's home uh he was out running errands and so obviously pups are very excited so we are just getting started cooking dinner so I am melting six ounces of butter in here and Darren is chopping some onion right now and then we are going to cook down the onion and then I'm starting to cook some rice this is the type of rice that we use once we cook the onions down until they're translucent then we're going to be adding this so this is two tablespoons of cumin seed and then about five or six cloves of garlic and three tablespoons of Ginger so for the ginger I just use this is what I use for the garlic and then cumin seed so I also just added in about a tablespoon of canola oil and now I'm adding in the onions and I'm going to cook them until they are translucent all right time to add in the cumin seeds ginger and garlic so now I'm just going to mix these in and this whole time I've been cooking on medium heat so now I'm going to continue to cook this until the onions start to Brown I also forgot to mention that these are two medium yellow onions so now our onions are nice and turning golden brown so it's time to add in the next ingredients so I have three Roma tomatoes diced up and then I'm going to add in the peppers we have three large jalapeno peppers and five small Thai peppers if you like it really really spicy this is going to give a solid kick if you like it really really spicy you can add in like two more Thai peppers and two habanero peppers tastes really good habanero peppers add an excellent flavor along with the heat so now I'm just going to mix all of this in and then once I finished mixing it together I'm going to be adding in one cinnamon stick and then we're going to cook this all down for about 10 to 12 minutes it's time for the next ingredient we are adding in 2 3 cups of chicken broth so I'm using Swanson I'm using just the regular one um I imagine low sodium usually recipes will call for low sodium that way you can control the amount of salt in your dish um we love salt so we really don't care for example that butter at the beginning you probably should have been using no salt butter we use full salt uh whenever we cook causes no issues for us so we use full salt butter and full salt chicken broth but you guys do with that what you like so now that I've added that in mixing it all together bringing it to a bit of a boil here which we are just about at and then I'm going to bring it down to simmer and leave it here for about 20-25 minutes so we just finished cooking it and so now we've poured it into our Vitamix and now we are going to blend it until it's smooth so now we've added the Blended mixture back into the pan and we've added in the paneer with all of the marinade so now we're going to mix this in and then we're going to let this cook for about 10-15 minutes so now everything has mixed together and cooked down so now it's time to add in the final ingredients so we're going to be adding one and a half cups of coconut cream and I'm using the brand May ploy so I'm just going to use a one cup and then fill it up halfway for the and a half I'm going to be adding three tablespoons of ground almonds we ground up a bunch of almonds and just put it in this bag so I'm just gonna pull from here one two and three and then our final ingredient of the whole night I'm adding tomato paste I'm using the brand Centro or Cento but honestly I use a different brand every time just kind of whatever I find on an end cap so um I add slightly less than a tablespoon so somewhere around three-fourths of a tablespoon but I just use the regular tablespoon it's not that serious we like a heavier amount so the ingredients that I've told you guys in the quantities these are combination of a number of different recipes and just taking what we liked from different ones now this is all brought together so I am going to probably just leave this on simmer while we get out the rest of the ingredients and get the nanole warmed up other than that this is done I did want to bring you guys in real quick so you can see how much paneer is in here they suggested about three pounds in a lot of the recipes and we used 28 ounces but still in every single spoonful you are getting a good amount of paneer in there so we find the 28 ounces to be sufficient so we just finished serving served it with some rice a little bit of cilantro on top and then this is some yogurt we use the Gopi brand Indian style low-fat yogurt and then we have some coriander Chutney and then we both have our nons in here just keeping them warm and boil so we're just going to enjoy dinner watch a show and have a fun little night in so thank you guys again so much for watching if you haven't already don't forget subscribe below it gives me a big thumbs up and I'll see you in the next one bye guystalk to me baby I've been waiting for a lifetime hey guys welcome back and good morning it's about 11 A.M we are

sodium usually recipes will call for low sodium that way you can control the amount of salt in your dish um we love salt so we really don't care for example that butter at the beginning you probably should have been using no salt butter we use full salt uh whenever we cook causes no issues for us so we use full salt butter and full salt chicken broth but you guys do with that what you like so now that I've added that in mixing it all together bringing it to a bit of a boil here which we are just about at and then I'm going to bring it down to simmer and leave it here for about 20-25 minutes so we just finished cooking it and so now we've poured it into our Vitamix and now we are going to blend it until it's smooth so now we've added the Blended mixture back into the pan and we've added in the paneer with all of the marinade so now we're going to mix this in and then we're going to let this cook for about 10-15 minutes so now everything has mixed together and cooked down so now it's time to add in the final ingredients so we're going to be adding one and a half cups of coconut cream and I'm using the brand May ploy so I'm just going to use a one cup and then fill it up halfway for the and a half I'm going to be adding three tablespoons of ground almonds we ground up a bunch of almonds and just put it in this bag so I'm just gonna pull from here one two and three and then our final ingredient of the whole night I'm adding tomato paste I'm using the brand Centro or Cento but honestly I use a different brand every time just kind of whatever I find on an end cap so um I add slightly less than a tablespoon so somewhere around three-fourths of a tablespoon but I just use the regular tablespoon it's not that serious we like a heavier amount so the ingredients that I've told you guys in the quantities these are combination of a number of different recipes and just taking what we liked from different ones now this is all brought together so I am going to probably just leave this on simmer while we get out the rest of the ingredients and get the nanole warmed up other than that this is done I did want to bring you guys in real quick so you can see how much paneer is in here they suggested about three pounds in a lot of the recipes and we used 28 ounces but still in every single spoonful you are getting a good amount of paneer in there so we find the 28 ounces to be sufficient so we just finished serving served it with some rice a little bit of cilantro on top and then this is some yogurt we use the Gopi brand Indian style low-fat yogurt and then we have some coriander Chutney and then we both have our nons in here just keeping them warm and boil so we're just going to enjoy dinner watch a show and have a fun little night in so thank you guys again so much for watching if you haven't already don't forget subscribe below it gives me a big thumbs up and I'll see you in the next one bye guys\n"
