Home-made Lamb and Chickpea Masala Recipe

I continue to miss the tikka food truck that used to come by my workplace. I especially miss their lamb masala. It's always the first item that they run out of.

So here I am, scanning my cupboard for spices that I have. It seems to me I have enough spices to last my lifetime! Then a crazy thought crossed my mind. Could I make some home-made tikka masala? Then lo and behold, I opened my freezer and there it was -- a package of lamb shoulder chops I bought from the supermarket last week! And so, like a chemist, I started mixing spice after spice.

I never thought I'd even attempt to prepare this exotic dish in my own kitchen, but there has to be a first time.
