Chicken Tikka Masala

A creamy, healthy and filling, dairy free version of the traditional Tikka Masala. So delicious served with cauliflower rice. Use barramundi or other solid white fish for a delicious fish version. I love using herbs and spices that support digestive function and reduce common complaints such as gas and bloating. Garam masala in particular also improves immune system function, supports detoxification and aids weight loss.
