Ingredients

500g boneless chicken, cut into cubes
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp tikka masala paste
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric powder

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the yogurt and tikka masala paste. Add the chicken cubes and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until the onions are soft and golden.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Then, blend the mixture until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
Return the sauce to the pan and add the garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the baked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve the Indian Chicken Tikka Masala hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Serve with steamed rice or naan bread.
