Attempted making tikka masala this evening. I had to make some substitutions, so the result didn't taste much like tikka masala. The sauce tasted like really good pasta sauce, though, so....

Used this recipe for the sauce (didn't follow the chicken instructions): https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chicken-tikka-masala.html

With these alterations for the sauce:
+ 800 ml can of no-salt tomato puree instead of 400 ml can
+ doubled all the other sauce ingredients
+ used milk instead of cream
+ used tumeric instead of coriander
+ then made the sauce according to the instructions

I usually intensely dislike pasta sauce, but this was really good (and I have a lot of it) and I very well might make it again when I run out of the current batch, so... I guess I see some Indian-Italian fusion spaghetti in my future.
