In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground paprika, ground garam masala, and ground cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken breast pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato puree and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, along with any remaining marinade. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink, about 10-15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Tikka Masala with rice or naan bread.
