Chicken Tikka Masala

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken breast and coat with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it's charred and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

4. 4

   Pour in the tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Add the grilled chicken to the tomato mixture and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your liking.

7. 7

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

8. 8

   Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve with rice or naan bread.
