Chicken Tikka Masala

I finally tried the Chicken Tikka Masala recipe from Heston Blumenthal's book "Further Adventures in search of Perfection". Anyone who has seen his TV shows or books know that his recipes are extremely involved and sometimes crazy, which is perfect for me! It was a two-day process, starting with the brining of the chicken. I couldn't find fenugreek leaves and kashmiri chili's, and I didn't build my own "oven" and make my own naan. Other than that, I followed every step in the recipe religiously, and the resulting dish was the best butter chicken dish I have ever had (actually, I am not completely clear on the difference between Chicken Tikka Masala and butter chicken...).
