Chicken Tikka Masala


This was sooo good! We loved it! I did make some changes.

Ingredients :
  •     1 cup yogurt
  •     1 tablespoon lemon juice
  •     2 teaspoons ground cumin
  •     1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  •     2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  •     2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  •     1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  •     4 teaspoons 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 :
  1. 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.
  2. Preheat a grill for high heat.
  3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side.
  4. 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.
