    Here's one of my favorite recipes:
    This is an easy recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken marinated in yogurt and spices and then served in a tomato cream sauce. Serve with rice or warm bread.
    Ingredients


    • 1 cup yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
    • 4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
    • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
    • 4 long skewers
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 2 teaspoons paprika
    • 3 teaspoons salt, or to taste
    • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro




    1. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    2. Preheat a grill for high heat.
    3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side.
    4. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Season with 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 3 teaspoons salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
