Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, diced into 2 cm cubes
• 100 grams plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch ginger, minced
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 100 ml heavy cream
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 200 grams white rice

Method

• Marinate the diced chicken breasts in plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté until golden brown.
• Incorporate chopped tomatoes and let them cook until they break down and form a paste.
• Add the remaining garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and paprika. Sauté for 2 minutes until aromatic.
• Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and is well-coated with spices, around 10 minutes.
• Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In a separate pot, cook white rice according to the package instructions.
• Season the dish with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve the chicken curry over a bed of steamed white rice.

Tips

• For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken for a longer period, ideally a few hours.
• Adjust the chili powder according to your heat preference.
• Sauté the spices well to release their flavors fully and enhance the dish.
