Chicken Tikka Masala

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate with 50g of plain yogurt, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to sputter, add the finely chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown.

3. 3

   Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another minute.

4. 4

   Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until it's mostly done.

5. 5

   Pour in the canned tomatoes and add 1 tsp paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and the sauce to thicken.

6. 6

   Stir in the remaining 50g of plain yogurt and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Adjust the seasoning with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with rice or naan bread.
