Food has a way of bringing people together, no matter where they come from. It sparks curiosity, starts conversations and often becomes a bridge between cultures. Thanks to social media, it is now common to see people from across the world trying their hand at cuisines far from home – and Indian food is often at the top of that list. Among the many Indian dishes that enjoy global popularity, Chicken Tikka Masala stands out. Rich, comforting and full of flavour, it has found fans well beyond India. This time, an American vlogger, Nolan Hansen, decided to cook the dish from scratch, and the video has caught attention online for all the right reasons.
Shared on Instagram, the clip begins with Nolan preparing a marinade for the chicken using yoghurt along with red chilli powder, garam masala, turmeric, coriander powder, garlic and ginger. The marinated chicken is then cooked in a pan on the stovetop.
