Spaghetti Tikka Masala



Traditionally made with sautéed chicken, this version of aromatic and delicious, coconut creamy Tikka Masala is both vegan (made strictly with coconut milk) and served with simple spaghetti.

Basically, it’s an Indian version of our traditional spaghetti and sauce, here in America.

 

Give it a try – or serve the sauce over rice.


Either way, the fragrance of the Tikka Masala will leave your mouth watering, begging for more.
