There are two things that go hand in hand in my opinion, barbecuing and entertaining. There’s just something about entertaining around the grill that makes having people over more fun than usual. Throwing dinner on the grill means that meals are less stuffy, and getting a little sauce on your chin is no big deal. Now that I’m in my seventh month as a Patak’s Mom, I’m getting more and more comfortable mixing in a little India. So much so, that I’m now entertaining and sharing my love of all things Indian with my friends. Our first barbecue of the season was this Grilled Chicken Tikka Masala.
Looks delicious, right? It’s also ridiculously easy thanks to Patak’s.
Grilled Chicken Tikka Masala
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsps ground cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp fresh minced ginger or jarred ginger
4 split chicken breasts, cut into 1″ cubes
1 Jar Patak’s Tikka Masala Sauce
Mix yogurt and next seven ingredients together in large bowl. Add chicken breasts, stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but up to four. Preheat barbecue. While barbecue is heating up, thread chicken onto skewers and discard marinade. Cook over medium-high grill until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. While chicken is cooking, heat up Patak’s Tikka Masala sauce. Place skewers on plate and drizzle with sauce. Serve extra on the side for those who like it extra saucy.

This looks so, so delicious Candace! What time are you eating? {wink}. I love cooking with Patak’s because it find it so easy to spice up almost any dish! Yours looks amazing!
I’ve really enjoyed being a Patak’s Mom Angie because I love reading those ingredients lists on the bottles. I feel good about serving it to my family and added bonus, the sauces are delicious.
I’ve been using the Butter Chicken, but bumped into a newcomer from Dublin who was missing her Indian restaurant. She’d never tried Patak’s, but we both left with the Tikka Masala 😀
I’ve read that Patak’s is used in many Indian restaurants. I’m not surprised. Their sauces are delicious.
Sounds so yummy! We’ve always got a bunch of Patak’s sauces and pickles in the cupboard. Excellent flavours!
Your recipes are killing me this summer. Yum. I have never made this but I have pataks at home ready to go. (Paula)
Haha! I’m glad to hear that Paula. I am totally in love with Pataks products. Their sauces are delicious. Enjoy
