Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine chicken with yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. Marinate at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high. Brown chicken in batches, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
- In the same pan, cook garlic and ginger 1 minute. Add tomatoes and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return chicken to pan. Stir in cream, season with salt, and simmer 5 minutes. Serve over basmati rice.
Notes
Good with basmati rice and naan. Freezes well — leave out the cream and add it when reheating.
