This is a great recipe.  We live in San Francisco, and eat out 2/3 of the time from the hole in the wall mom & pop places to the 5 stars, we have grown up with Indian friends, eating home cooked meals as well as out at Indian restaurants.  Whenever we make this recipe everyone - including our Indian friends -  ask for the recipe.  We always qualify it as "Tikka Masala Napa Valley Style" before we serve it, and we haven't had any complaints, even from people who are more meat and potato types.  We do admit to adding a little bit more of the spices than this calls for - but that is a matter of taste and easy enough to fix to your taste as you are cooking.  Noticed many people booked it as a favorite, but only a couple of reviews - and we think it needed more props in the reviews than it seems to be getting.
