Chicken Tikka Masala is undoubtedly one of the most loved dishes in the Indian subcontinent and beyond. This rich, spicy and salty preparation has long enjoyed international fame and is considered one of the most popular dishes in the UK. Over the years, many global creators have shared their own takes on the famous recipe.
Now, a viral video on Instagram shows Nolan, a content creator known for his appearances in MrBeast videos, trying to cook chicken tikka masala. The clip begins with Nolan holding a masaldani (a traditional Indian spice container) as he announces his plan to prepare the famous dish.
The video then guides viewers through the entire cooking process. Nolan adds the yogurt to the blender bowl with various spices and garlic, blends the mixture, and uses it to season the chicken pieces. The marinated chicken is fried before moving on to preparing the broth by cooking onions, spices and tomatoes, which are later blended into a smooth sauce.
Once the base is ready, add the chicken and leave it to steam for some time. He also garnishes the curry with some fresh coriander leaves. At the end of the video, Nolan is shown enjoying a chicken tikka masala dish with tortillas and rice.

Chicken tikka cupcake
A few years ago, a video showed someone making a “chicken tikka cupcake.” As the name suggests, Chicken Tikka Cupcakes involve baking the chicken dish like a cupcake. The dish begins with preparing the cupcake batter. Melt the butter, add an amount of ketchup to it, and chop the chicken. Next, the man adds a dose of tonic water and flour to the mixture, creating a batter-like consistency. Then we put it in the cupcake tray for the oven.
To decorate, the man melts some chocolate over the raw rice. Finally he topped the Chicken Tikka Cupcakes with melted chocolate and rice.
