Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breast, cubed
  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 15 oz Crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 pieces Bird's eye chilies, slit
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken in yogurt, 1 tablespoon of garam masala, and half the cayenne pepper for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, sauté the garlic, ginger, and slit chilies until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, remaining garam masala, and remaining cayenne pepper; simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to create a smooth, orange sauce.

  6. 6

    Add the seared chicken back into the pan and simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Adjust salt to taste and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
