Brumington that sounds like a fantastic use for the sauce.

We never have left over sauce they love it, but I do use 1 kilo of chicken thighs.

Made this the other day...it was the first meal my TMX made whilst "on holiday". I made the Tikka Paste before hand and put into a sterilized  jar. I also measured the right amount of spices and put them in a zip-lock bag for easy transportation. Then when we arrived at our destination, I onlly needed to buy a few ingredients and we had a yummy, gluten-free dinner on the table very quickly :)

Great way to do it all.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hi.  I've been making this for a little while & we all love it.  My question is: could I safely double the recipe? If so, would I need to adjust the cooking time/s?  That way I could freeze 1/2 for a meal another night.

I usually double the chicken but there is soooo much sauce, you shouldn't need to double the rest of the ingredients :)

Have had my first attempt at making the tikka paste tonight.  The smell of curry certainly permeates throught the abode. Initial thoughts are that perhaps it is a bit heavy on the cumin. Will make butter chicken tomorrow and see how it goes. With so many positive reviews I reckon it'll probably be pretty good.  Might go lightly with the additional cumin.

Didn't go lightly with the cumin.  Stuck to the recipe except used coconut cream instead of cow cream. Flavour of the coconut not even noticeable which was surprising.  Heat from the chillies was probably somewhere between mild and medium fom a curry house. I wouldn't add anymore to it but also wouldn't scrimp on them much either.
Definitely tasty but I think I will halve the cumin in future. Also would like to intensify the coconut - haven't worked out how to do that yet.

This is  great! It tastes just like butter chicken! I used a can of coconut cream and it turned out  perfectly!
