Everyone’s FAVORITE chicken tikka masala bowls made from scratch in just 30 min! And you can prep for the entire week!!!
So it’s been quite a week.
I ended up in the ER Sunday night, which turned out to be appendicitis.
I personally thought it was bad gas.
Then, they took out my appendix at 7AM, Monday morning.
Now, I’ve been on a clear liquid diet since then, but all I can think about are these chicken tikka masala bowls.
I mean, it’s just torture.
But the minute I get discharged, I’m making this for the entire week.
With extra naan. And extra garlic naan.
After all, I have some lost time to make up for with all the hospital jello and ice cream.
