Chicken Tikka Masala with Companion

Recipe taken from the website https://www.cookomix.com/recettes/poulet-tikka-masala-thermomix/ adapted for Companion When we talk about chicken tikka masala, we immediately think of India, however it was not invented there even though it is part of Indian cuisine. In fact, the dish is said to have originated in the United Kingdom in the 1960s in an Indian restaurant in Glasgow where a customer asked for the chicken he had been served to be less dry. The chef then improvised a sauce with tomato sauce, yogurt, and spices. The dish became very popular and quickly spread around the world, with the UK serving no less than 23 million dishes each year. English Minister Robin Cook described it as the "true national dish of the UK". There is no precise recipe for chicken tikka masala, the quantities and ingredients vary a lot, but chicken is obviously the main ingredient along with tomato, yogurt, and spices.
