My family devoured my meal prep last night. So, I made it again early this morning. Took a pot d of it to the office. They devoured it again! !! 😂😂😂
There isn't a Indian restaurant on the planet that doesn't add sweetener to CTM. It doesn't have to be sugar. Also, garam masala absolutely is NOT the cornerstone of Indian food. Curries are always
1. Onion forward (not shallots)
2. Cumin forward
3. Coriander-y
Cumin is pretty cheap, so, sometimes, to save money, garam masala can have a lot of cumin, but, if someone bought an expensive high cardamom GM, it would completely ruin this dish.
Between the potential dish-ruining quantity of garam masala, the lack of sweetener, and the lack of sweetness by omitting the onions, you're doing this dish a huge disservice.
Indian here. Try using evaporated milk instead of cream cheese for lower calories and shelf stable. Try using ginger garlic paste. It's super useful and stays good in the fridge for a while. Can be found at your local Indian store. I personally use tomato paste but that's just me. Lastly I use ginger garlic paste for the sauce and marinade. Also I sous vide the chicken breast and then broil them so they get an oven char without undercooking them.
This is fucking amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WHY WASNT THIS 24 HOURS AGO WHEN I MEAL PREPPED AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Good shit. Subbed
The Nanalan reference tho
thank you for this😄
Bro you are going crazy with these recipes; noone else is making dishes like these macro friendly

Cream cheese is a really underrated hack for just about anything that requires a thick sauce
Chicken Stock > Water
Petting the kitty = instant like and suscribe.
At last a white person who washes the rice lol
This is awesome thank you. Your recipes have been used a lot in my kitchen in 2025. I've been alternating the Quiche and Breakfast bagels every week. Thank you!
I'm not offended but
yooo what the f*ck is this stop calling it tikka massala
Bro this is genius. LOVE this dish, glad to see I can make it more often now haha
Cream cheese in tikka masala. I get it – we need to improvise but this is abysmal. Next time I’ll put soy sauce in Italian pasta
Your Burrito changes my life, I'm 1% happier & meal prep has made things more convenient without slacking on nutrition or budget 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks man
We have the recipes and have made them better
They can all go back to india now
Hell yeah
Are you inspired by Ethan Chlebowski?
Missed you! Thanks for the great recipe . Will be cooking this tomorrow!!
Cat.
Great video. I think I'll try the cream cheese method next week.
Great video! The guest star is absolutely adorable 😻
Damn perfect timing bro
This is a lot closer to butter chicken than tikka masala, but looks incredible
I was starting to get tired of the Quiche, this came just in time.
This is looking good
Keep the videos coming!
