Chicken tikka masala has never been so easy; we kept this casserole traditional(ish) with ingredients like garam, curry and rice but made it doable using only one dish. We don’t even make you cook the rice ahead of time. MORE+ LESS-

No basmati rice in the pantry? No problem. Long-grain white rice makes an excellent substitute.
Can’t take the heat? For a milder dish, omit the red pepper flakes.
