Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts, boneless, skinless
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 Tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ginger, finely chopped
1 teaspoon jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons Curry powder
1 can tomato Sauce (2 cups)
1 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of whipping cream, or half & half
3 tablespoons of fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
1 tablespoon of garahm masala
Method:
Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
In large saucepan, fry onions in butter until golden brown. Add garlic, ginger, jalapeno peppers, paprika, and curry powder.
Fry for a few seconds, add chicken and fry for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add tomato sauce and salt, slowly bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done about 10 minutes.
Add whipping cream or half&half, stir and simmer about 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh coriander. Add garahm masala.
Hint: It tastes even better if you marinate the chicken pieces in a tandoori mix overnight. Just use a jar mix available at Superstore, Save-On or Safeway, follow the instructions on the back for marinating (cut up the chicken before marinating). Then follow the instructions up top.
Enjoy!
