Notes — Marinating the meat takes about 3 hours so plan ahead. Freezes forever. The original note said “great on rice.” Like, no shit? (unknown kcal/recipe)
Ingredients (Chicken)
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 inches fresh ginger, minced
- 4 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tsp coriander
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
Ingredients (Sauce)
- 1/4 cup clarified butter (ghee)
- 1 onion, sliced thin
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 6 cardamon pods, crushed
- 1/2 tea red pepper flakes
- 1 28oz can diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
- 2 cups skim milk
- 2/3 cup chopped cilantro
- basmati or jasmine rice
Instructions
- Stir together garam, turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger and garlic.
- Take half of the spice mix and mix with the yogurt and salt. Save the other half of the spice mix for the sauce later.
- Chop the chicken into 1in strips and mix into the marinade mixture. Let sit, sealed in a fridge, for 3 hours at least.
- When done marinating, turn on your oven to broil or use a grill to cook the chicken. (This will only cook the outside, not the inside 100%).
- Roughly grind the pepper flakes and cardamon.
- Add spice mixture to ghee in a large, heavy pot.
- Over medium heat, add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 min. (It’s okay if some bits are stuck to the pan)
- Add the tomato sauce to the pan and use the juice to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.
- Let simmer for a few min, add milk. Simmer 30 min over low heat.
- Chop up the chicken into 1in cubes and add it to the mix.
- Serve over basmati or jasmine rice.
