Tikka: grilled goodness. Tikka Masala: grilled goodness swimming in a delicious curry bath!
Tikka is grilled or roasted marinated chunks of meat or paneer, while tikka masala is tikka in a creamy, spiced tomato-based curry. So, one is dry and the other is saucy!
Tikka = skewered and grilled. Tikka masala = skewered, grilled, THEN simmered in spicy, creamy sauce. Easy peasy!
Tikka is just the grilled or marinated meat, but tikka masala is like tikka's dressed-up cousin covered in a rich, spiced sauce.
