Vegetable Tikka Masala

Both Aaron and I love this dish when we go out to a Indian Restaurant.  So I tried it tonight and it turned out really good.  I think some Indian restaurants may cook with gee.   This might be the missing ingredient that gives it the restaurant taste, other wise this is as close as I have come to getting it perfect

 Cook veggies first. I steamed my carrots and potatoes and sauteed my squash and green beans, (you can add any veg you like) then add to sauce once you have made it and heat through.

First Marinate the chicken its traditionally a chicken dish

1cup plan yogurt
2tbsp lemon juice
2tsp ground cumin
2tsp paprika
2tsp pepper
1tsp cinnamon1tsp salt
1 piece of fresh ginger
1 1/2ls of cubed chicken

Mix everything in a bowl cover the chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour
put chicken onto skewers and grill till done.

Ingredients For the Masala Sauce

2 clove minced garlic
2 tsp ground coriander
1tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of tomato sauce/soup

add and stir in coriander, cumin, paprika, garam masala and salt.
add and stir in tomato sauce/soup and simmer for 15 mins
