Chicken Tikka Masala

Yummie Dinner,Chicken Tikka Masala.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 ½ onions
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp cinnamon pwder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ to 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 large tomato
1 tsp tomato purée
150 ml water
Salt to taste
Yoghurt or 1 tin coconut milk, if desired (W/c I did)
First of all, chop up the tomato finely and set aside for later use. Next, finely chop the onions and set aside. Finally, cube the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with a little salt and also put to one side.
Mix together in a bowl the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and paprika.Put the oil into a pan over a medium heat.
Add the onions and cook while stirring, until brown.Add the masala paste and stir for a minute,Add the tomato and tomato purée and stir for a minute till thoroughly combined.Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.Taste the sauce and season with salt if necessary.Add the chicken cubes and mix well into the masala. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked and tender. Check this by piercing the chicken with a sharp knife - if it goes straight through and comes out clean, it is done. For a weaker curry flavour, add either 1 small tin of coconut milk or 1 medium sized carton of yoghurt. Mix well and simmer for another 5 minutes.Serve w/ rice garnish w/ parsley or fresh coriander.
