So this is not chicken tikka masala and it's a lot more spicy. But believe me this is a truly wonderful recipe that I and my friends just loved with rice. Thanks for sharing.

This chicken masala recipe is great with flat breads. I personally liked it better than the best chicken tikka masala I tried.
