Description

Tikka Masala is a creamy tomato-based sauce made with ingredients such tomato puree, cream, coconut milk, butter and masala spices.

We recommend an aromatic white wine, fruity and acidic or a fruity rosé.

Go for a wine with some residual sugar or extra fruit ripeness if the dish is super hot.
