I've always used yellow onions in my tikka masala; they caramelize nicely and give a deep, sweet flavor to the sauce.
I once tried using shallots, and it turned out great with a subtle yet complex flavor.
For tikka masala, use yellow onions. They have a nice balance of sweetness and sharpness that works perfectly with the spices.
Honestly, any onion will do. Just chop it up and toss it in the curry!
