 Here is a unique Chicken Tikka Masala recipe with accurate measurements and ingredients:

Creamy Tomato and Spice Chicken Curry

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

•  1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
•  1/2 cup plain yogurt
•  2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
•  2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
•  2 teaspoons garam masala
•  1 teaspoon ground cumin
•  1 teaspoon ground coriander
•  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
•  1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
•  1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
•  1 cup chicken broth
•  1/2 cup heavy cream
•  Salt and pepper, to taste
•  Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, ghee or oil, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.

2. Add the chicken and mix until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

3. Preheat a grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.

4. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Alternatively, bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

5. In a large saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

6. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and stir to coat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over basmati rice or with naan bread.

Tips and Variations:

•  Use a tandoor oven or a clay pot for an authentic flavor.
•  Add a splash of vinegar or citrus juice to the marinade for extra brightness.
•  Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a variation.
•  Serve with a side of cucumber raita or mango chutney for a cooling contrast.
