Chicken tikka masala recipe?

There seems to be a conspiracy on the web, because every single Chicken Tikka Masala recipe I've tried so far tastes nothing like the typical CTM you get at practically any Indian/Bangalore restaurant. You get this sour tomato'y blobby gravy with far too heavy spices. It's like every restaurant chef knows the recipe, and they conspired to post WRONG recipes on the internet to keep people from making CTM themselves.





So the question, like the others that have gone before me, is how the devil do you make Chicken Tikka Masala that tastes like the one you get at ANY restaurant. I've tried so many recipes and they all taste the same, and really really wrong. I'm not even eating these experiments anymore, they're going straight from the stove to the trash.





What's the trick? What is it that every restaurant knows, that nobody on the internet knows?Chicken tikka masala recipe?
This recipe sounds pretty authentic. The author obtained it from www.bawarchi.com. I checked that website, and there are five recipes there that you may want to look at if this one doesn't look right.

    I don't have the recipe (but it sounds good)!





    Heavy cream is whipping cream ... so many things are called different names anymore. Anything with more cream in it than half and half (light cream) is heavy cream. And there is NO SUCH THING as fat-free half and half or fat-free heavy cream.
