What’s your least favorite thing about cilantro: its flavor, its known toxicity, or its role in the subprime mortgage crisis?
As if it isn't all of the above
Foul soapy demon spawn
Binging with Babish the fact that even though everyone seems to hate it, there always manages to be a ton in my food
thanks for showcasing some of our Indian cuisines, will be looking forward to more.
Binging with Babish I also hate cilantro. It has this taste that just over powers all other flavors for me. It’s distracting.
"The last thing you want to do is pull rock-hard cloves from between your teeth" ...Desi moms never got this memo :(.
theRealCrazyOne every fricking time
I had a roommate from Bengal teach me how to make a chicken curry. Left the cardamom and the cloves in every time
@@hankrearden20 Generally speaking a lot cook with whole cardamom and cloves, matter of fact, grinding it like Babish did in the video is something I have never seen. And they never fish it out. You don't eat it, it has done its job, at this point it is going to be thrown away. And yet, its not fished out, and instead left as a nice surprise to keep you on your toes

Everyone in this comment section has an Indian mother.
and it's so fucking stupid too lol because chicken tikki masala isnt even indian, it has it's place of origins in the UK and several indian chefs have called chicken tikki masala's status as an indian dish as ''inauthentic''
@@eoeaoe12e nope,
Ali Ahmed Aslam, proprietor of the Shish Mahal restaurant in the west end of Glasgow, invented chicken tikka masala by improvising a sauce made from yogurt, cream, and spices.
@@eoeaoe12e guess what, Ali Ahmed Aslam, proprietor of the Shish Mahal restaurant in the west end of Glasgow, invented chicken tikka masala by improvising a sauce made from yogurt, cream, and spices. He's a pakistani chef
Indian mother in law actually 🤣
@banu prakash The origin is British, no matter what you say. Like Shubham pointed out, the origins possibly has its place in Glasgow, or at least somewhere in the UK. Several Indian chefs (many of them being high end) call the dish inauthentic; in fact, the sauce was literally made with British people in mind as they like to have their meat served in gravy.
Regarding Shubham's explanation, it stems from the story that ''On a typical dark, wet Glasgow night, a bus driver coming off shift came in and ordered a chicken curry. He sent it back to the waiter saying it's dry. At the time, Dad had an ulcer and was enjoying a plate of tomato soup. So he said why not put some tomato soup into the curry with some spices. They sent it back to the table and the bus driver absolutely loved it. He and his friends came back again and again and we put it on the menu.''
Whatever the origins may come from, one thing is 100% for certain; it's an inauthentic British dish inspired by Indian cuisine. By saying that Tikki Masala is a real authentic Indian dish, you are indirectly insulting Indian culture as a whole.

Tikka Masala actually holds up very well to thigh meat. I use it all the time. Also, Ghee is your friend.
Most curries are better cooked with leg meat
Also cook the meat with the skin off but still on the bone. Moister meat and less messing about with skewers
No one seems to appreciate the Ghee, big ups the GHEE!
Wait ghee's healthy but all the indians think tis unhealthy tho :3

Chicken tikka is an Indian dish. The masala was added to satisfy the British desire to have their meat served in gravy.

I mean, the chicken tikka masala recipe we know today was invented in Glasgow. The British did to Indian food what Americans did to Chinese food.
@@kaziiqbal7257I'd disagree somewhat. American Chinese hardly conforms to whatever Chinese food actually is, while British Indian food definitely remains closer to the real deal
I hate manufactured ghee and making it myself is too big a PITA for most Indian dishes I love. I'd rather spend the prep time making garam masala.
Indian mom: where's the masala in it?
Abhinav Rawal u realise this curry was made in Britain not India
ThePrince Karma bruh who cares if it was or was not made in Britain. It’s called chicken tikka masala. Both tikka and masala are not English words. And it’s a dish that tastes similar to other Indian cuisine. U don’t see these type of ingredients in other British cuisine. At the very least u can admit that this is an Indian inspired dish which may have been made in Britain. That being said, even if it was made in Britain, it was prob made by a brown dude.
@@PureM_ Made in the UK. By Indian people, with the ingredients available to them in the UK. It is also so popular that it is considered among our national dishes.

Don't use olive oil in chicken marinade. Use ghee
Ghee is more traditional but olive oil is always to hand and will give you the same result
Ghee wouldn't be used in original tikka masala, it's a scottish-indian dish, not an indian original.
Ghee isn't as easily available as olive oil,I don't think it really matters.
Yessssssss ghee is good for that
@@ppppppqqqppp that's highly impossible since almost all the spices used are spices grown in regions close to the equator. It's more of an Asian dish that gained popularity in other countries. UK was influenced but this dish and it's exposure and decided to make it it's national dish

From what I've heard and read, this recipe came to Britain during colonial times and has recently become the unofficial national dish. Even some politician said so unless I'm mistaken.
They just really like tikka masala I guess.
it's a British dish, kind of like how chilli con carne is an American dish not Mexican.
@@georgemcnaughton8238 funny, but chicken tikka masala IS indian
I'm an Indian and i can say this is a wonderfully perfect recipe, and also just a tip, if you don't like topping it up with Cilantro, you can always try fresh Coriander!!

But aren't those the same thing?
@@Chiller-pc1dv thats the joke lol
Only when I shifted to UK and saw frozen food being sold so much I started respecting the effort and techniques put into Indian food and I started respecting that.
Nostalgia For Infinity I mean refrigerating doesn’t mean freezing. I absolutely hope all restaurants are refrigerating their meat
Mmm. I’m from the UK and am not a big fan of frozen food personally. Refrigerated? Of course, it’s safer. But I only buy frozen food if it’s a food that needs to be frozen (ice cream, for example).
@Nostalgia For Infinity I think it depends where you live. I live in the northeast of the USA and in the winter frozen vegetables r often to the "fresh" that had to be shipped around the world. I think England just isn't warm enough to grow all year round
tikka masala is a brittish inspierd indian food
@@ThePapaja1996 lol. No type of Indian food is inspired by British culture. Britishers wasted 200 years in India for spices and use none in their food.

Did you not know about salmonella?
@@WhoForgot2Flush Thing is when most people hear "food poisoning" it's normally just limited to vomiting and diarrhea, because they don't eat raw chicken enough to experience serious food poisoning.
@@fisheatsyourhead Most should know what salmonella is. It's a pretty common thing to know about.

@@brownie3454 Indian cooks introduced this dish to Britain. Do you really think a britisher make this dish? look at your food and then ours.
Sounds delicious, but me personally i prefer to use coconut milk instead of heavy cream. It brightens u a lot of the flavors and goes extremely well with those spices
+1 for the coconut milk. Also helps break the acidity of the tomato without having to add sugar
I am pretty sure thats a whole another dish in Indian cuisine.... I mean technically it won't be the actual tikka masala then.... But it'd be delicious nonetheless!!!
Another +1 for coconut milk. It’s a british dish and I’ve never had a tikka masala without coconut in it!
Coconut milk or coconut in any way is mainly used in coastal cuisines of the country. Tikka is a North Indian dish and coconut milk doesn’t really fit in a traditional sense. But honestly you gotta do what your taste buds tell you! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@SimranSurya you're correct in tikka being a north indian dish but tikka masala was invented in glasgow when a customer complained his tikka chicken was too dry and wanted some gravy so the chef improvised, coconut milk not being common in the uk at the time he used cream but the dish being a love letter to making the best of what you have at hand makes using coconut milk a perfectly fine choice :D
You had me at “chicken”.
Daniel Sambar your pfp is how I look when I see chicken

You should do biryani. Would love to see your take on it.
Love the vids, this channel is among one of my favorites. I have noticed this phenomenon lately, and I don't understand. Yes, people will probably cry that I am some sort of stupid hippie, but what is the deal with cooks being afraid of getting their hands dirty and using all these latex and plastic gloves these days? It is so wasteful. It seems like another method of destroying the earth when a simple rinse under the faucet would suffice. Just asking, don't get it.

A world-renowned Indian dish...invented in Scotland.
ummm. sure whatever you want to think. but I don't think "invented" is the right word here, more like modified to suit the British taste. coz chicken tikka masala was originally called Murg Masala( murg = Urdu word for chicken and Masala = Hindi word for spiced based gravy) Introduced to India by the Mughals( who originally invented it). it was modified into several versions by the different cultures of India. Then the East India trading co. came and then the Uk people tasted it and were like holy shit! this is amazing we must take the recipe back home and introduce it as something we invented. sooo... I mean u can boast about inventing but it ain't urs, just like half the shit in British royal museum.
Really ?
So why don't they eat it in Scotland?
@@cdj17e Google it. A Pakistani chef working in an Indian restaurant in Scotland in the 1960s is said to have invented it. Of course, the hint is in the ingredients: tomatoes and cream (most dairy products, not all) aren't really an original staple in Indian cuisine.
@@theace691 Absolutely. In fact, in the late 1800s, early 1900s, it was typical of the nouveau riche that made their fortunes in India to bring back the cuisines of the region they were in and open small restaurants to bring it to the general public. Many of the foodstuffs and ingredients were altered, either to make it easier to incorporate it into the blander typical British diet, or improperly copied when trying to recreate the recipe. Look up Worcestershire sauce for more fun facts.

Stay safe and don't catch the big dead, guys!
I have tasted everything I make raw before cooking it so I'm not sure what he means...
That ginger is particularly suspicious looking.
Looks familiar
Glad someone else caught that 😂
i can recommended thigh meat for tikka masala. I really enjoy making mine with it. gives a denser, bolder flavour to the meat which can accompany a strong fragrant sauce and marinate such as this!
Naan is super easy to make actually, at least a passable version of it, it's a simple dough rolled out flat then cooked on dry cast iron. Whenever I make tikka masala I have to make naan.
It’s good in a bind, but if you pop a pizza stone in a wool fired grill, you can make some authentic stuff, and just store extra stuff for later
Definitely a better version. My next place needs a grill, living in the city has it's drawbacks. A plus side is there's a great Indian spot a 5 minute walk away with a tandoori oven, I can get the genuine article!

Well, the whole British version of Tikka masala kind of isn't up to the mark. I would ditch cinnamon as it sweetens stuff, I like red onions adds more kick to things, I would actually slice up tomatoes and pan fry with onion paste rather than adding canned tomato sauce. That we you can control the acidity from the tomatoes. Then blend everything together to a sauce.
I generally add some generous amounts of kashmiri / deghi mirch powder in the curd marinade that enhances the chicken's flavor and the color without making it too spicy.
Bring the sauce back to medium heat, add the chicken. Now resist that devious cream, trust me you don't need it. Then , this is of utmost importance get Kasuri methi (Fenugreek) and crush em with your hand like rolling a joint and ad it to the mix. Now ad two tablespoons of butter, put it on a very low flame, and cover the top. Once the butter melts mix it in, and if you must then put a tiny bit of cream for decor like a spiral on top.

I love your videos man and the version you have shown is to the point for the UK version. Still I would love for you to try the Indian version which is different in a few ways:
a) We use chilli powder in the marination process that gives the chicken tikka chicken a rich red colour and spice ( Kashmiri chilli powder I would suggest)
b) The chicken is cooked separately traditionally in a Tandoor but you could just use your oven
c) We don't use a lot cream and we don't like it sweet so reduce sugar and use butter( Close cousin butter chicken)
If you can tolerate the BOOM Beyond insanity sauce you can have a spicy Chicken Tikka Masala :)
5:08 so... when does a new website become an old website :)?

Umm if im not mistaken, tikka masala is just more fragrant gourmet version of butter chiken. Base is pretty much same except butter chicken require more butter, sugar, less spice and just pan grilled chicken instead of skewered chicken. Just Google murgh makhani recipe.
Imo he made a very white version. His technique was off too. To each their own.
@@azkakhan3979 agreed. Extremely toned down version.
Matty Matheson does a great butter chicken!
Any Indian here Judging Babish on his every step of cooking 😂😂 At least I did ...🤣 Though Babish you did good..
yes....I almost barfed at the olive oil.....why oh why do they do that?.....Its like watching a chef using ghee in Italian food...Gordon Ramsay goes a step further and adds spices like Paprika that arent even available in India.
Here!
@@russellmasc Ya also mee
Russell Masc Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Britain because a traditional Indian Chicken Tikka doesn’t exactly suit local taste. Given that it doesn’t really matter if paprika isnt available in India. Besides, the key ingredient in a tikka masala is tomato and its not like those existed in India either until the British brought them given the plant in indigenous to the Americas
The olive oil got me. I've never missed a single episode but I skipped this one when he added Olive oil.
"and a little pinch of sugar"
*Adds 2 teaspoons*
I have a coffee grinder that’s only used for “spices”. The magical spice that enhances anything I make with the decarb spice. 😇
MAKE HIMYM foods (tantrum,stinsons hangover fixer elixir, best burger in NY, seven layer salad, sumbitches)
Fakhira Ahmed he’s already made Stinson’s hangover fixer elixir as part of his cocktail special episode 👍
You forget turturkeykey
@@whozurdaddy3423 today we make a turturkeykey while enjoying a 'sandwich'
@@konijntjesbroek hahaha
I swear Indian food is the best cuisine in the world. It's literally a flavor explosion every time you eat. My mouth is watering now....I think I'm gonna go order this.
Technically tikka masala is brittish
@@ThePapaja1996 It's actually an Indian dish. It's Britain's national dish, but chicken tikka masala is an Indian dish
@@AK_golden_rose It was invented in Britain by Bengalis dude, nothing Indian about it.
@@Smoneey curry powder?
@@Erik-yt8qb And pizza contains tomatoes, does that mean it’s an American dish?
What you don’t want to chew on whole spices? Don’t go for the biryani then lol
biriyani the spices are like the least of the problem those bones @.@
@@MrSquishles Bones aren't a problem, they're the whole point! Makes everything more delicious, and you can tear the cartilaginous bits off of them, not to mention crack them open for MORE FLAVOR.
Best part of Biryani tbh.
I’ve only had vegetarian biryani 🙊 send help
I just made Chicken Tikka Masala for the first time and I followed Chintan Pandya recipe from a munchies episode titled, "How To Make Chicken Tikka Masala"
It's not a basic recipe, but it was AMAZING my whole family loved it. I substituted fresh tomatoes in that recipe for Canned whole tomatoes and Tomato paste. I for sure recommend it if you want a more complex recipe that taste super authentic.
Brother you need use ghee not oil stuff i follow your channel for a while
Pls if you wanna grind spices use a grinder made of stone
Sorry my english is not good my mistake
We call it imam dasta
3:47 chilli bit: "Freeeedooooooom!"
Love it!!! Would also love to see you make some vegetarian/vegan dishes. I love your channel but as someone who doesn’t eat meat there aren’t many of your recipes I can actually accomplish.
Then just don't add the meat or animal products.
if you wanted to make this veggie you could probably do everything the same and just swap the chicken breasts for extra firm tofu
vegan is maybe harder, but you could start by swapping the heavy cream for coconut milk (which makes it no longer really tikka masala, but it would still be delicious) and the yoghurt in the marinade could swap for soy yoghurt or could go altogether and use a different sort of marinade. tofu doesn't need the tenderising acid that a yoghurt marinade brings to chicken, so you could just marinade it with garlic, ginger, spice powder, then maybe lemon juice and oil (a bit of sesame oil mixed in with a neutral oil would work). you'd end up with something fairly different, but fairly close to a tikka and probably still really tasty
Add some veg cauliflower and mini corn cobs are great in curries
More complicated than I could do myself, but great to watch to learn what goes into a gourmet version of the recipe.
Bold of you to assume I don't wanna die.
"National dish of the UK"
Nice one
That's laughable that it's true lol
I thought brits national dish is cooked beans on bread.
It was invented in the UK and is extremely popular...so....
@@hardrock342 beans on bread isn't Brits national dish lol
Damn legit just got on TH-cam and see a nice surprise
Yeah that's not really special.
What is the difference between the curry powder made in this video and garam masala? Would one work as a substitute for the other? What are some other uses for this curry powder?
Congratulations on getting 4mil subs man! You da best cooking channel.
May I suggest the Curry from Persona 5 (PS4), a very nice game, though you would easly need 60+hours of play to get the subtle details about this particular dish.
Very random, but you have helped me come up with so many dinner options for my family. The more I practice your recipes the better they taste. I can’t wait to incorporate Tikka Masala into my dinner regimen 👍🏾
"...and baam, here you have it, perfect tikka masala... No I'm just kidding, this is how you get dead."
When a notification for a babish upload interrupts you while watching a babish video
That litteraly happened to me too lol
Thank you so much for this. Me and the family love this recipe! We prepare it at the weekend and freeze some for the times we usually would have ordered take out. We experimented with coconut milk instead of heavy creme and when you season it a bit more this adds some interesting touch to the dish.
That curry powder in our language is called GARAM MASALA😂
Ok.
Okay and...?
Cool.
Curry powder and garam masala are quite different
@@slamblamboozled1245 usually cooking curry Garam Masala is added along with additional spices to create the flavour you're looking for. It's normally 1/5th of the spices you use. Tuneric, chilli powder, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, medi leaves ect are all added too.
Its like making fried chichen with only salt and pepper in the flour...
The clove flavour is super strong, so I made it with less and it tastes ridiculously good. Thanks for another great recipe!
Everyone please listen to her! I used the prescribed amount and it was overpowering especially after dry roasting...
2:20 that Ginger looks quite "interesting". I mean you did that on purpose, right? :D
Yes someone noticed!
