Spicy Chicken Tikka Masala, Grilled Version image

This is an awesome dish to make for company if they like chicken with heat. I would suggest doubling the sauce and serving with nan and basmati rice. I have also used low fat & FF yogurt and it works beautifully.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
