Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
  4. Place the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo or wooden skewers, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
  5. Make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour in the cream.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skewers and add to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or alongside naan bread.
  7. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://tasty.co/recipe/homemade-chicken-tikka-masala

The comments for the original recipe were that the wooden skewers should be soaked to prevent burning, and that there should be more spice.  Since nothing is really spicy that I know of, I increased the seasonings by 50%.

Also, these can be air fried at 350F for 20 minutes, very tender and juicy, but didn't have the charred corners.  And we think maybe our oven runs a bit hot, so do please beginning checking after the first 15 minutes and adjust as needed.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Combine everything EXCEPT the ketchup in a bowl, mix with your hand to make sure it's well mixed. It should seem a bit wet, but it it's too wet, you can always add more bread crumbs and/or cheese.
  3. Press mix in loaf pan so that the top is no more than slightly domed in the middle. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove and spread the ketchup on top. Return to oven to finish baking. The meatloaf should have an internal temperature of 160F.
Recipe Notes

Nothing was actually measure, I just put in until it looked and smelled about like I wanted, so please feel free to adjust the seasoning to taste.

You could use any ground meat you wish, but if you have too much fat it might bubble over the sides, so you would want to place the loaf pan on a sheet pan lined with foil.

11.1.18:  First baked.  Took FOREVER!!  Think I'll try at 375 next time and see if that helps the baking time.

Instructions
  1. Roast the garlic. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove as much of the papery cover from the garlic head as you can. Cut the top of the garlic head so that each clove is exposed. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the garlic head in foil so that it is complete covered but not compressed, and will sit upright on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until it is soft.
  2. While garlic is roasting, cook the tomato sauce in a small pan just warm enough to simmer gently. Cook until reduced to 1/3-1/4 original volume.
  3. In large sauce pan, add olive oil and heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and just starting to brown. Add the roast garlic cloves and crush them slightly in the pan. Add crushed tomatoes.
  4. Add herbs to taste. You can use dried or fresh. I use 3-4 sprigs of thyme, about 2 sprigs of oregano, and around 6 basil leaves. You can always add more. after it has cooked for a few minutes. I did not chop the herbs because I blend the sauce once it's done cooking, but if you don't intend to blend, you should probably chop the herbs finely.
  5. Let simmer slowly, stirring frequently, for about 20-10 minutes. Taste a couple of times to see if you need more herbs. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. The sauce is now ready to serve, unless you want to blend it until smooth.
  7. CAUTION: Blending hot items is NOT recommended, and can be dangerous, and the lid can pop off and hot liquids can fly around. And yes, they can burn! You should probably give the sauce a few minutes to cool before you blend. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to blend it in two batches.
  8. Pour the sauce back into the sauce pan and rewarm before serving. I like to add the salt and pepper at this point, since now the tomatoes and herbs have had plenty of time to cook together.
