Tips
You can order the Tikka seasoning from Amazon, “Rani Tikka Masala Seasoning” for convenience.
You can also use tandoori masala seasoning (more common in stores), or use the simplified mix below:
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons coriander
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tsp cayenne
Separate rice and tikka masala into 8 even servings.
Store frozen and it will last for months - simply microwave for 4-5 minutes to reheat and enjoy!
