Chintan Pandya of restaurants Adda, Rahi, and Dhamaka in NYC is in the Munchies Test Kitchen to whip up (and unpack) a controversial “Indian” dish: chicken tikka masala. This dish, a staple on Western Indian restaurant menus, has dubious origins despite its widespread popularity and Chintan breaks down how to make it at home. He explains how to make each of the three main components: tender yogurt-marinated chicken thighs, creamy makhni gravy, and a spicy onion and tomato masala.

    If you’re going to make this: do not use American Chili Powder. Your curry will taste like chili (the soup kind). He is using Kashmiri chili powder which is much closer to a mix of cayenne/paprika if you can’t find it
  • @Spazzsticks
    In asian cooking, you only have three measurements: a little bit, some, and alot.
  • He looks that one substitute teacher that's super helpful and hilarious. But after that one class you never see him again despite how much the class begs for him to come back when a substitute is needed-
  • this is why i love indian cooking, "no one is wrong none of them is right. everybody is perfect" unlike the italians everyone is wrong LOL
  • @AnitaAsani
    I knew this was legit when he didn't use measurements for the spices. Basically, just throw them in there until the voices of your ancestors tell "Enough my child!"
  • @GamerBarracks
    None of them are wrong none if them are right. Everybody's perfect- massive legend

    “None of them are wrong, none of them are right. Everything is perfect” This guy is legit - what a legend

    If this guy had a cooking show, I would watch it all day

    I made this for dinner tonight. It was simply INCREDIBLE. My wife and I both agreed it was the best chicken tikka masala we ever had. Well done chef!
  • @akshanshnain588
    being an Indian, im very impressed how he is relating everything back to India and it's way of cooking. No wonder his food is highly authentic, hats off!

    the 99 people who disliked this order chicken tenders everywhere they go
  • @jerryjacob7062
    His style of cooking is by far the closest you can get to authentic Indian cooking. Alot of heart and soul. You are doing well Chef ♥️

    7:53 = "kasoori methi" = dried fenugreek leaves (Latin: 'Trigonella Foenum Graecum' ). These yield a flavor similar to a combination of celery+fennel with a slight bitter taste.

    15 years I have been working on my CTM recipe and I just made this. I followed the recipe exactly regarding ingredients, (even the hard to find food grade mustard oil, most are for massage) but strayed from the recipe on one step. After cooking the chicken in the oven I turned the oven to broil to get some color and caramelization on the chicken. I learned this from another youtuber Sanjay from Vahrehvah. This gives the hint of smokiness to the chicken! This dish came out soo good! Better than some restaurants SF bay area. The only thing I will do different next time is bump the tomato flavor with a tsb of tomato paste and add 6 roasted cashews to the gravy before blending. The double marination, mustard oil, and onion tomato marsala were game changers!

    Really enjoyed this one Teo, thank you for the years of great content! 🥰
  • For the guy from the video titled "A day in the life of an Indian Chef" by a guy called Avin or something. I recognised you from your accent and the fact that you didn't measure anything. Since you've been cooking since the age of 20 and you're not comfortable with using a white onion
