Chicken Tikka Masala

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, cumin, and paprika. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until charred and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. 4

   Dice the onions and sauté in a large pan over medium heat until they turn translucent. Add the remaining garam masala and cook for another minute.

5. 5

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

6. 6

   Lower the heat and add the cream, stirring well to combine. Add the grilled chicken pieces to the sauce and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

7. 7

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