I love Tikka Masala, and this seems to be a simple enough recipe. So thanks
PSInteresting enough it's more of a British dish, than anything

Some tikka masala recipes can get complex, and often call for spices, and cooking techniques, that can be hard to accomplish without a well stocked Indian kitchen
PS I was surprised you had such issues tracking down Garam Masala though.

it's because that's like going to an Italian market and asking for Italian seasoning. It's pretty much just a generic spice blend that every Indian mom has a variation of.
Odd that the supermarkets didn't carry it though. Even my local joint stocks it, and I'm in the middle of BFE

Acidic_Sloth said: yeah, it confused me too. would have just made my own but i would have had to spend a bit on the spices i didn't have in stock plus all the other supplies i was getting; would have made for a very expensive meal.
Yeah, that's the big issue with cooking Indian food. It takes a totally foreign set of spices and ingredients, and many can be super hard to find outside of a major city

Don't worry, I can't find any ingredients for my Paella here, either. Pretty much anything beyond corn and ketchup I'm SOL
