Chicken Tikka Masala will always have a special place in my household as the dish that opened up Indian cuisine for us. The first one we tried. The first one we loved. I’d be happy as a clam to eat Indian food every meal, every day of the week, but that’s a bit hard when you’re on a special diet! If you have that problem too, this AIP version of Chicken Tikka Masala will help keep your tastebuds satisfied so you can keep that love affair with Indian cuisine alive. Serve over cauliflower rice, if you like!
