Meal No. 664: Chicken Tikka Masala

It's been a while since I made chicken tikka masala, and it just sounded right for tonight. It's made in the slow-cooker but faster than many slow-cooker meals: it cooks about three hours.

Served over basmati rice and accompanied by cumin-coriander roasted cauliflower, it was darned delicious. (I did realize too late that I grabbed a can of tomato sauce instead of a second can of crushed tomato, so this had a bit of an Italian influence to it. Still good, though.)

Beforehand, an appetizer of sorts: mango lassis.

Since the tikka masala had a bit of spice to it, I guess it worked out well that I'd made some key lime frozen yogurt earlier in the day. It was an excellent dessert for this kind of meal.
