I've already posted this but I need to make the question clearer. We used to love this dish and we've moved abroad and can't get it. There aren't many Indian food places at all here and they aren't the same anyway.
The one I mean is often bright red (food colouring, yeah I know) and positively SWEET - I think the sauce has coconut, almonds, cashews and I would guess a hefty dose of sugar, or whizzed up sultanas to sweeten maybe, and I'm sure there must be cream in there, or creamy yoghurt at least. It is similar to a korma, maybe spicier (and red!). And the jars of tikka masala sauce (pataks, madhur jaffrey etc.) don't taste ANYTHING like it! And I've tried dozens of online recipes and they usually make the sauce with a tin of tomatoes, or tomato sauce - WRONG! Then it just tastes like a tomato curry - not what I want at all! So please don't just copy and paste something you've googled - I'm googled out! If you don't know what I'm talking about then you won't be able to help.

Also, I'm more interested in the sauce than the marinade for the tikka meat (most of the recipes I've tried are just fine for the marinade).
