Chicken Tikka Masala


Chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then served in
a tomato cream sauce, great with naan.

Ingredients:
1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon 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:
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.
Preheat a grill for high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto
skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run
clear, about 5 minutes on each side.
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.
