Yummy easy Chicken Tikka Masala
Recipe Source: my sister
Ingredients
1.5 lb of boneless, skinless chicken cut in 1 inch cubes
marinade
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground red pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 piece minced ginger (1 "inch" long)
Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Jalapeno, minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 oz.) can of tomato sauce
1 cup whipping cream (heavy cream)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Combine marinade ingredients. Place in zip lock bag with diced chicken and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For sauce:
Melt butter on medium heat. Add garlic & jalapeno; cook 1 minute. Stir in coriander, cumin, paprika, garam masala & salt. Stir in tomato sauce and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in cream; simmer to thicken; about 5 minutes.
Discard marinade. Grill or broil chicken, turning occasionally, to cook through – about 8 minutes (you can also bake at 350 for 20 min if grilling or broiling are not an option). Add chicken to sauce. Simmer 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with basmati rice, naan or pita bread.
