Chicken Tikka Masala Part II

Been fooling around with our Chicken Tikka recipe.

Some things we've tweeked-
Fresh tomatoes instead of canned.  Used Heirloom tomatoes grown in our garden-
1 Cherokee Purple (they really are purple!)
1 Lemon Boy (yellow of course)
1 Green Zebra (green and yellow striped)
1 Roma
2 Cherry

Half a white onion and a fresh hot red pepper grown in the garden

Instead of marinating and broiling the chicken we cooked it in a pan with some cow ghee (its clarified butter) with some garlic, ground cumin, ground turmeric, a cinnamon stick, and couple cardamom seeds.

Used heavy cream for extra deliciousness.

Came out really well.  Chicken was not as moist and tender, but still very tasty.

Here is a crazy cross pollinated yellow and green zucchini from the garden, and some of our colorful tomatoes. Weird!
