Is There Coconut in Tikka Masala?
Traditional Chicken Tikka Masala usually doesn't have coconut in it. It's more about that creamy tomato-based sauce. But, some chefs might add coconut milk for a twist!

Nah, classic tikka masala is all about the tomatoes and cream. No coconuts invited to this party.
A hot take: Why not throw in a bit of coconut milk if you like it? Cooking is all about experimenting. Just don't call it traditional!
I've made tikka masala at home many times, and never used coconut. It's cream or yogurt for that richness.
