Chicken Tikka Masala

 

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

Directions

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.
