@@KaniyaButterfly sesame oil, Sunflower seed oil,peanut oil, soyabean oil, canola oil is also used quite prominently. As @RandomlyGirl mentioned above Oil can be used however,although it depends of what kind of dish you are making. Coconut oil is used predominantly in Coastal India along with South india. Mustard oil is the staple usually along with many more oils, depending on the terrain. P.S- As long as it tastes good to you, it's fine. Use any oil you have available. (I have taken the liberty to generalise; you can google the dish you're making and you'll easily find what you need to use)
@@ShibamMohanty sesame, coconut and mustard oils are pretty strong in flavour and we usually use them for specific stuff (Although I know a lot of people who use coconut oil for everything). At home, we usually use neutral oils like sunflower, peanut, canola or soybean oil for general cooking.
it actually wouldve been fine if she went with whole tomatoes pureed instead of tomato paste (and would have given her more liquid to simmer). Live and learn :D
You need to add more onion and brown it down with a little more oil, also add more fresh tomato. And also putting water under your home grill will make it almost steam the chicken and also making it less dry. You could also try using mustard oil to bring more heat and flavor and toast some spices and grind it up.
I love that she actually cooks like normal people would when they try a recipe from the internet. Substituting ingredients that you can’t find, giving it a taste in the end and knowing that it tastes really good but a bit off so surely you made a mistake along the way-then find out what you did wrong 😂 thank you lisa! that looks really yummy 😊
Pro tip: use a piece of red hot charcoal and put it in a small dish and pour oil on it. Put the dish in the pot of gravy(do not mix gravy with charcoal) and cover the pot with a cover and let sit for atleast 2 mins and maximum of 4min. That will add a smoky flavour in the gravy and elevate the dish to a whole another level
My mom makes this and I suggest you to add onions and tomatoes in ratio of 4:3... And slice the onions and fry them until golden brown, (also add garlic and ginger paste during light golden stage), later add tomatoes and let it cook until the you can see oil separate near the sides.. it would be more tastier if you use only tomatoes instead of adding tomato paste.. 😃.. and it does look very tasty😋..( just a suggestion from your fan of yours.. love your videos I watch them every single day and didn't miss even a single one.
Although it'll probably taste fine with olive oil, Indians generally use sunflower, soy and rice oil if we need something neutral or mustard oil for its distinct flavor.
Being an Indian I can definitely say you did a very good job... It looks so delicious it's making me want to just go and grab some from the restaurant😂
Pro tip: Add a pinch of sugar next time and just see the difference. It kind of counteracts the tartness of the lemon and tomato in a very nice way. It's a secret most recipes won't mention. Also if you ever feel you don't have enough liquid, just add a little bit water. Otherwise you risk burning the spices. Though in this case it was fine because you were going to add the cream anyway.
Please use mustard oil next time. That's what is traditionally used in chicken tikka masala and you'll be surprised by the difference it makes! Anyways great work. Love from India, Lisa ❤
@@kitkusmutku if you don't like heat in your food, try butter chicken and if you like it, try chicken tikka masala. The gravy for butter chicken is velvety and smooth in texture because it is passed through the sieve once. Also, butter chicken is a little sweeter and creamier.

@@sarikaranglani6544 ppl always say dosa and idli when South india id mentioned. We have better food like parotta, chicken chettinadu and much more dishes
Indian food is intimidating but well worth trying to make. Your chicken Tikka masala looks great and I agree. Keep as much skin on as possible. Makes so much difference in flavor!
Lisa as reasonably practiced home cook, indian cooking takes alot of feel. So always do something that u find right :D Some tips 1 Olive oil has a low smoke point and is too strong for indian cooking. 2 ALWAYS USE SHALLOTS. Never white onion.
@Lisa Nguyen Hi, m no chef or expert but... 1. while blending the masala 2-3tsp of water will do the trick 2. cut the lemon juice portion by half & try a mix of lemon+Amchoor powder( dry mango powder): both in marination/cooking. 3. try blended tomatoes puree(sans the seeds) instead of chopped ones. 4. Instead of olive oil use white oil or to make it even more authentic use Cow Ghee/ clarified butter
OK fine, I've tons of recommendations for you (mostly south Indian) 1. Idiyappam Kadala Curry (steamed rice noodles with chick peas soup) 2. Dosa (thin rice pancakes) and it'll go with practically anything sambhar (lentil soup), karakulambu (spicy tamarind curry), chutney (idk how to explain it but it's a side dish that's made by grinding certain ingredients), meen kulambu (fish curry) etc etc. 3. Chettinad Biriyani or Ambur Biriyani (basically it's the south indian version of Biriyani) and no it's not the biriyani you've had before, I'm pretty sure it's too different from the North Indian or Hyderabadi biriyani. This one has more flavour and taste. Even Malabar Biriyani is good. 4. Prawn/Shrimp thokku (a semi solid tomato curry with prawn) it goes with dosa, idli, Chapatti, rice, pretty much everything. Don't forget to remove the tail and head while cooking. 5. You could try parotta (all purpose flour bread?) too but it's too complex. Even we don't make it at home but you could definitely try eating it. I've seen jeanell eat at a restaurant called Anjappar, they serve all these dishes and I bet you're gonna love south indian food once you try it there 🥰 So yeah, I'm done with my recommendations... ATB Lisa akka (sis). God bless you
she could also try choke bhature, dal pakwan, tandoori chicken, bhel puri, pain puri, dal makhani, panned tikka, kulcha (these are some north indian foods that go well with south indian foods and everything you have mentioned, like with dosa and paratha)
@@akritirana6622 lol I'm not trying to separate India or anything, I mentioned South because both the cuisines are so different and people who aren't from India just don't know about it 😌
i love how you appreciate my culture and do the dish PERFECTLY. Even I can't do it as good as you. Pls, cook Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice. I would love to see u do that. I love u, Lisa.
This looks so amazing! As an Indian myself, I love seeing people trying my favorite foods! My mom makes Chicken Tikka Masala every so often, and you did such a good job with it, looks super tasty. Keep up the good work, love your videos!
quick tip, add 100ml of chicken broth to the caramalised onions and tomatoes when you feel like its too dry, it will add so much more rich flour to the masala. also you can buy some chaat masala from an indian store, its basically like garam masala minus the heat and more tangy, add 1/4th spoon of it to chicken tikka marinade for extra kick, but dont add too much. you generally use chaat masala to sprinkle on fruits or chaats(street food snack) to eat :)
Peruvian is a unique fusion of Latin, Japanese, and Incan culture. I highly recommend and suggest you give Lomo Saltado a try. It’s a staple in every Peruvian household 🇵🇪
You did amazing! Next time you make the dish, you can add more slices of tomatoes to make the sauce liquidy in the initial steps. And if you want the sauce to be smooth-you can blend the sauce and strain it. When you make butter chicken-the recipe is very similar! You should try it out and don’t forget fenugreek leaves with it! Literally a dish you’ll definitely enjoy. Cheers!
Hey Lisa, pls try this egg masala recipe from maharashtra (india) 1. Hard boil 2 eggs 2. While eggs are boiling heat up a pan add 2-3 teaspoon of vegetable oil 3. Wait 1 minute and add thinly chopped onions and shredded coconut 1/4 cup each 4. Stir it for 5 minutes till golden brown 5. Add the mixture in a mixer grinder and add 2 chilles(small) 2 cm ginger and 3 garlic. Add 1/2 tomato(big), 6. Grind them till paste consistency 7. Heat up your kadhai or pan add 5-6 teaspoon of oil and add 3cloves , 1/2 a stick of cinnamon, 3 black pepper (whole) 8. Stir it at middium heat for 3 mins add the grinded mixture and add salt 1½teaspoon, 2 teaspoon chili powder 9. Stir it for ½ min and wait till the oil comes above the mixture 10. Add the eggs in it add stir it for 2 mins 11. Cook it for 5 more mins with a led on (don't stir it) 12. Enjoy with rice I really like your videos and pls pls pls try this recipe you'll love it 😀
Regarding the spice mix in the blender, add a little bit of water and shake it to get everything out. A little bit of water to the marinade will not affect the taste that much considering your dish is gravy based. Secondly, when sauteing the onions, if you plan on adding tomatoes, just add garlic and turmeric as spices with the onions. Then add the tomatoes and follow up with remaining spices. Adding all the spices the way you did, you run the risk of burning the onions. As for cream, if you are confused, just buy plain non fat yoghurt and use that. That will get the job done too. Overall, great job and presentation.
Another thing - in order to cook Indian food, be familiar with the taste of the dish you are cooking. The ambiguity about salt portion is because people add water and spices based on how they want it - and no hard fast rule on how much to add as a lot of that is personal preference (basic rules still apply like not too much salt obviously and be careful about how much water to add if it is a rice dish). My point is if you have a decent handle on how you want the dish to taste, you can add the salt at the very end after cooking everything and you can add as much as you desire.
I am half Srilankan and quarter Indian, and when I saw that Chicken Tikka Masala, I fell in love with the looks of it and I really wanted to try that! It looks so accurate to my mother's own Chicken Tikka Masala, that looks so amazing and delicious 😋! I have been your subscriber for almost 2 years and I got so much motivation and inspiration from you about cooking and food itself. Can you try a meat buriyani or another South Indian Cuisine? Thank you so much, Lisa!
Tip: For North Americans - In Indian recipes, the words Lime/Lemon can be interchanged. What it actually is, is Lime... but Ripe Yellow Lime. Not Lemons, not unripened Green Limes that you get in the Americas. I found that mixing lemon juice with green lime juice gave a decent approximation of the flavour of Ripe Limes.
Happy Diwali Lisa ✨... I was pleasantly surprised that you decided to cook North Indian food instead of the usual taste tests that other TH-camrs take on and the dish looked so tempting 😋. Ever since I discovered you seven months, I have been hooked. Love all the way from Northeast India 🇮🇳 ❤
Lisa have u tried pani puri? its an indian dish with different types of sauces and toppings filled in a small puri. And when you put it into your mouth its a burst of flavours.I recommend trying it!
Yess its just sooo good, one of my fav indian dish😍 My indian friends(i'm chinese living in a multicultural country) recommended me pani puri and took me to try it once and i was just blown away, the shells are crispy but then explodes in the mouth with all the filling since then i can't stop craving it😅
I love how she pronounced "garam masala" and "basmati rice!" lol (It's a joke, don't worry, almost all of Lisa's pronounciations are legit perfect and I love her she should try saying it like "guh-rum") ALSO HAPPY DIWALI TO EVERYONE!! so sweet of her to wish us
Hey Lisa just a little tip when marinating the chicken you can burn some coconut husk and put it in a bowl and 1-2tbs sunflower oil to the bowl and then place the bowl in the chicken and cover with plastic wrap.this will give the chicken a smoky flavour
🙏 As an Indian, I can clearly see your chicken Tikka looks better (tender) than the one from the restaurant (dry as a desert) P.S: If you ever visit India start from New Delhi. You'll find the best butter chicken and dal makhani. The dishes originated from here! Have a good day.😊
Lisa , garam masala actually is mixture of different species that's if u only add garam masala and little chilli powder then also your dish will taste good anyways Happy Diwali ... I think u should try diwali foods which we Indians actually make at home also I am not sure that in US you will find out diwali food Love from india Happy diwali again love you lisa...😁😁
Let me take this moment to quote your nephew "You did a great job, Aunty Lisa 😍" I knew that it was going to be a oopsie moment when I saw you confidently pouring that much lemon juice into the pan, but it's ok - first time mistakes happens 👍. Happy Diwali to you too Lisa! Since it's Diwali, I hope that you try some Indian sweets and review them like you did with Japanese and Vietnamese sweets. Namaste 🙏
I'm an Indian, vegetarian, still I watched the video with equal interest as I would to a vegetarian dish, next time, please cook butter paneer, it's my favorite Indian dish
Don't think Paprika is used in any of our traditional Indian dishes like tikka masala... But you can always use a mix of different spices as you like, that's the fun of cooking... The chicken tikka masala looks good!
I'm confused... 0:54 no masala? Masala is the spice mix not the sauce ;) You're also missing a few other ground spices. Obviously not essential but ground ginger, ground cardamom seed, ground garlic and maybe even some ground cinnamon ;) I also like a little touch of sugar. Marninating in buttermilk with your paste will also tenderise even more. I also find basting with a butter/oil mix while its grilling takes it to the next level. Haha, I only got to the part now where you said you had an overpowering taste and before you even said it I knew it was the lemon... this is Indian not Mexican cuisine :D
@Lisa Nyuyen For cooking Indian Sabji and curry we use mustard oil... Onlyfor fried item we use refined oil and for rest of curries it's mustard oil for strong nd food flavour🥰... Lot's of love from India ❤️
You should add more oil to saute onions and garlic. We make sure that the onions are inside the oil. Maybe 3-4 full spoons of oil. It depends on the quantity of onions but we use alot of onions for chicken dishes.
I'm shocked how at a place like spices, especially powered spices are kept. All the scent will go away. Each and every spice has its flavour and scent that what makes it flavorful and the same goes for tea as well
I think all indian cooks knew the lemon juice was too much when we saw her squeeze it in..😅 all jokes aside it looks amazing.. for your first time its unbelievable. No one would ever say it was your first indian dish by the look of it! So yumm!!
as a pakistani what i like to do is instead of just making steamed rice i actually like seasoning it with some salt as it really brings out the flavor if ur eating it without the tikka masala. great vid btw im u made my mouth water!
this is GREAT for your first attempt! also id like to share a small tip - whenever youre making indian dishes, and it isnt specified which oil to use, always use one that has a high smoke point and little to no flavour just to be safe :) i love your videos btw! youre so open minded and respectful when it comes to different cuisines and dishes, its refreshing to see ❤

I really like your videos and pls pls pls try this recipe you'll love it 😀
2:15 dont use olive oul instead use mustard oil it adds a lot more flavor.
Explore other Indian dishes as well ✌🏻✌🏻, my recommendation would be a combination of 'Hot Gulab Jamun and Cold Ice-cream'. ❤️❤️
Yum. I tried before it was delicious.
Cold ice cream?!? Man, I need to try that! All these years, i've only been eating Hot Ice cream
@@stingky3689 lol true
@@stingky3689 😂😂 Actually there is a dish called Fried Ice-cream, if you didn't knew that✌🏻
@@arnav5214 wow, that sounds really interesting
Regarding the spice mix in the blender, add a little bit of water and shake it to get everything out. A little bit of water to the marinade will not affect the taste that much considering your dish is gravy based.
Secondly, when sauteing the onions, if you plan on adding tomatoes, just add garlic and turmeric as spices with the onions. Then add the tomatoes and follow up with remaining spices. Adding all the spices the way you did, you run the risk of burning the onions. As for cream, if you are confused, just buy plain non fat yoghurt and use that. That will get the job done too.
Overall, great job and presentation.
Another thing - in order to cook Indian food, be familiar with the taste of the dish you are cooking. The ambiguity about salt portion is because people add water and spices based on how they want it - and no hard fast rule on how much to add as a lot of that is personal preference (basic rules still apply like not too much salt obviously and be careful about how much water to add if it is a rice dish).
My point is if you have a decent handle on how you want the dish to taste, you can add the salt at the very end after cooking everything and you can add as much as you desire.
You should try Schezwan chutney. It's like a indo-Chinese sauce 😋 and it's like spicy and sweet at same time. I think you gonna love it 😀
I loved the way she ended with wishing us a happy Diwali! Thank you Lisa 😘❤️✨
I am half Srilankan and quarter Indian, and when I saw that Chicken Tikka Masala, I fell in love with the looks of it and I really wanted to try that! It looks so accurate to my mother's own Chicken Tikka Masala, that looks so amazing and delicious 😋! I have been your subscriber for almost 2 years and I got so much motivation and inspiration from you about cooking and food itself. Can you try a meat buriyani or another South Indian Cuisine?
Thank you so much, Lisa!
Can you try a Chicken Biriyani or a Mutton Biriyani, if you haven't tried it yet?
i always get the store one where you can just microwave it but this looks so much better
YEEEESSSS GIRL- you did a great job!
No you are wrong curries are also called Masala in India and Pakistan

Oh yeah? I didn’t know that.
@@Muzammil_Hussain0123 ?
Tip: For North Americans - In Indian recipes, the words Lime/Lemon can be interchanged. What it actually is, is Lime... but Ripe Yellow Lime. Not Lemons, not unripened Green Limes that you get in the Americas.
I found that mixing lemon juice with green lime juice gave a decent approximation of the flavour of Ripe Limes.
It was good to see you trying more Indian dishes❤️... Btw your spatula with which you were cooking in the pan was quite interesting 😂
Happy Diwali Lisa ✨... I was pleasantly surprised that you decided to cook North Indian food instead of the usual taste tests that other TH-camrs take on and the dish looked so tempting 😋. Ever since I discovered you seven months, I have been hooked. Love all the way from Northeast India 🇮🇳 ❤
The way she pronounces Garam Masala is just so adorablee~
Lisa have u tried pani puri? its an indian dish with different types of sauces and toppings filled in a small puri. And when you put it into your mouth its a burst of flavours.I recommend trying it!
Yess its just sooo good, one of my fav indian dish😍 My indian friends(i'm chinese living in a multicultural country) recommended me pani puri and took me to try it once and i was just blown away, the shells are crispy but then explodes in the mouth with all the filling
since then i can't stop craving it😅
.. You mean water balls?
@@NicoTheNoxious No she meant Gol Gappe, Puchka, Gupchup, Pani ke Batashe.
@@NicoTheNoxious that's the ruined name of pani puri, hurts my heart everytime someone calls pani puri as water balls.
Also Fuchka Is very similar to Pani Puri.
Lisa should try that too!!
Oooooo I can’t wait for this video 😋🍴
this looks so good! thank you for introducing all the different food to us. I'm hoping to try food from every country sometime
I love how she pronounced "garam masala" and "basmati rice!" lol
(It's a joke, don't worry, almost all of Lisa's pronounciations are legit perfect and I love her
she should try saying it like "guh-rum")
ALSO HAPPY DIWALI TO EVERYONE!! so sweet of her to wish us
LOL, i got a little cringe when she said GAARum Maasaalaa.
but she good
It's not perfect but it's great for a foreigner
Happy Diwali!
Even though I’m Pakistani happy Diwali!
@@lemonadelover249 thankuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This looks absolutely spot on❤
But a pro tip: Always use mustard oil when cooking Indian food.
Love from India 🙌❤
Hey Lisa just a little tip when marinating the chicken you can burn some coconut husk and put it in a bowl and 1-2tbs sunflower oil to the bowl and then place the bowl in the chicken and cover with plastic wrap.this will give the chicken a smoky flavour
Too good Lisa I like how you try fan requests. Big fan from India. Btw if u don't mind this is my request make Biriyani
This looks so yummy! I've literally had this a few hours ago 😄
While cooking Indian gravy use heavy bottom vessel which is shallow. It will be easy to combine ingredients compared to pan
🙏 As an Indian, I can clearly see your chicken Tikka looks better (tender) than the one from the restaurant (dry as a desert)
P.S: If you ever visit India start from New Delhi. You'll find the best butter chicken and dal makhani. The dishes originated from here! Have a good day.😊
butter chicken and butter paneer are my favourite indian dishes 😋
I think you mean ‘desert’ unless you’re talking about a very dry sweet
Lisa , garam masala actually is mixture of different species that's if u only add garam masala and little chilli powder then also your dish will taste good anyways Happy Diwali ...
I think u should try diwali foods which we Indians actually make at home also I am not sure that in US you will find out diwali food
Love from india
Happy diwali again love you lisa...😁😁
This is perfectly made! Good gob Lisa👏🏻
Let me take this moment to quote your nephew
"You did a great job, Aunty Lisa 😍"
I knew that it was going to be a oopsie moment when I saw you confidently pouring that much lemon juice into the pan, but it's ok - first time mistakes happens 👍. Happy Diwali to you too Lisa! Since it's Diwali, I hope that you try some Indian sweets and review them like you did with Japanese and Vietnamese sweets. Namaste 🙏
*Never been so much eager to watch something I can't even eat🗿*
People from foreign countries making Indian recipes is good too see....
Helps to share and understand each other cultures...
Chicken tikka masala is not Indian…. It’s British
I'm an Indian, vegetarian, still I watched the video with equal interest as I would to a vegetarian dish, next time, please cook butter paneer, it's my favorite Indian dish
2:38 uncle Roger would be proud
This process was golden. I love it.
That's is heaven try that if you haven't try that yet. Love your contact 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Don't think Paprika is used in any of our traditional Indian dishes like tikka masala...
But you can always use a mix of different spices as you like, that's the fun of cooking... The chicken tikka masala looks good!
Put some water in the mixer when processing the spices so that it comes out easily.
The oil to be used is mustard oil.
O:29 we Indians after listening garam massla be like
"Aww so cute "
"adorable "
"Wow she is too cute "
I also liked it when she saided it ❤💗
Have you ever tried making Arabic food? I would recommend you my favorite food it’s with rice and Mulukhiyah I hope u get to see you try it one day
I haven't tried it yet, but want to!
1:44 true indian moment
I'm confused... 0:54 no masala? Masala is the spice mix not the sauce ;)
You're also missing a few other ground spices. Obviously not essential but ground ginger, ground cardamom seed, ground garlic and maybe even some ground cinnamon ;) I also like a little touch of sugar.
Marninating in buttermilk with your paste will also tenderise even more. I also find basting with a butter/oil mix while its grilling takes it to the next level.
Haha, I only got to the part now where you said you had an overpowering taste and before you even said it I knew it was the lemon... this is Indian not Mexican cuisine :D
Lisa, when you bake, stick to recipes 😂
noted lol
WOW ........ u really made a nice chicken masala tikka i appreciate it as an Indian
You are an amazing cook Lisa. You appreciate foods from around the world and also manage to cook them. That's a W.
You did a great job, it looked delicious. Tip - add more Youghart, a little lemon, abd a little more oil to fry the onions 🧅
I love the way she says garam masala, bashmati and happy Diwali 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@Lisa Nyuyen For cooking Indian Sabji and curry we use mustard oil... Onlyfor fried item we use refined oil and for rest of curries it's mustard oil for strong nd food flavour🥰... Lot's of love from India ❤️
You should add more oil to saute onions and garlic. We make sure that the onions are inside the oil. Maybe 3-4 full spoons of oil. It depends on the quantity of onions but we use alot of onions for chicken dishes.
It's always so satisfying to watch your videos...makes my day
Omg my mouth is watering watching this Lisa!!!
If i am correct, tomato paste is just putting tomatoes in the blender along with a bit of water. Which was why the recipe said to boil
CONGRATS LISA ON 4M
I'm shocked how at a place like spices, especially powered spices are kept. All the scent will go away. Each and every spice has its flavour and scent that what makes it flavorful and the same goes for tea as well
I think all indian cooks knew the lemon juice was too much when we saw her squeeze it in..😅 all jokes aside it looks amazing.. for your first time its unbelievable. No one would ever say it was your first indian dish by the look of it! So yumm!!
as a pakistani what i like to do is instead of just making steamed rice i actually like seasoning it with some salt as it really brings out the flavor if ur eating it without the tikka masala. great vid btw im u made my mouth water!
@Lisa always use Mustard oil for cooking Indian food . Also an u could add cashchew paste it makes it even better
this is GREAT for your first attempt! also id like to share a small tip - whenever youre making indian dishes, and it isnt specified which oil to use, always use one that has a high smoke point and little to no flavour just to be safe :) i love your videos btw! youre so open minded and respectful when it comes to different cuisines and dishes, its refreshing to see ❤
