Chicken Tikka Masala

Gluten-Free, Indian  | Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tsp garam masala, divided
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Method

  1. Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, 2 tsp garam masala, cumin, paprika, and turmeric in a bowl.
  2. Add chicken, coat well, and marinate at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
  3. Thread or pan-sear the chicken until charred at the edges; set aside.
  4. Melt butter in a large pot and sauté onion until soft.
  5. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Stir in crushed tomatoes and remaining garam masala; simmer 15 minutes.
  7. Blend the sauce smooth if desired, then return to the pot.
  8. Stir in cream and the seared chicken; simmer 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  9. Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.

Notes

Swap heavy cream for coconut cream for a dairy-free version — reduce simmer time slightly so it doesn't split.
