Recipe Intro From thehealthyhunter

Let me get this straight. The Brits went to India and returned with their love affair of Indian spices (and Gin & Tonic). Which led to the creation of the most popular dish in England: Chicken Tikka Masala. Which exists on exactly, um, zero authentic restuarnat menus in India at the moment. And then @thehealthyhunter went and made that same dish into a vegeterian dish? Can someone diagram this for me? Never mind. Just cook it. ‘Cause this looks soooo good.
