To me, Sunday’s are about relaxing at home with the family.  It’s a good time to download and prepared for the upcoming week. Especially by nourishing your body with yummy food. I use the extra time on Sundays make a more interesting, ethnic meal.  This hearty, flavor-packed chicken tikka masala will certainly warm your heart and soul.  The combination of broiled, perfectly seasoned, yogurt-marinated chicken simmered in a creamy coconut sauce served over white basmati rice is truly the perfect meal for a Sunday supper. Enjoy!

Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated peeled ginger
  • 1 cup regular yogurt
  • 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 3 cardamon pods
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1-28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

  1. Make spice mixture by combining garam masala, coriander, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, and salt.
  2. Combine ½ of spice mixture (reserving the other half), yogurt, 3 cloves minced garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl and mix well. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours.
  3. Warm ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add remaining garlic and cook another minute. Add tomato paste, tomatoes and cardamon pods and remaining spice mixture and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add cream and cilantro and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile pre-heat broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminium foil.
  6. Arrange chicken on a wire rack in a single layer and place on the baking sheet.
  7. Broil chicken until it starts to blacken in spots, about 10 minutes. Don't worry if it isn't cooked through.
