Chicken Tikka Masala (India)
Several chicken breasts
What you need to marinate the chicken:
- 1 glass of yogurt (250 ml.)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons of red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- Salt
For sauce:
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 small chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons of paprika
- 0,50 lbs of tomato puree
- 1 cup of cream
Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, red chilli
powder, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, salt and chicken well, put them in the
fridge. If you have time, do it overnight, otherwise leave it for 1 hour, but
the longer it waits, the better. I didn't do it on the grill, I threw it
directly into the pan with the sauce, sautéed it until the chickens were. Melt
the butter in a separate saucepan, add the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the
cumin, red pepper powder and salt. Add your tomatoes and cream. Close the lid
and leave on low heat for about 20 minutes (The sauce should thicken). When the
sauce reaches the desired consistency, add the chicken to this sauce and leave
it for another 10 minutes. It's ready for the serving plate, it goes great with
rice.
