This recipe came from a recipe booklet insert in one of my magazines. Delicious.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 lb chicken thigh, cut into bite-size pieces (boneless, skinless)
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup evaporated milk (regular, 2%, or fat free)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Heat remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic and ginger until soft and fragrant. Stir in butter, lemon juice and spices. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, cooking for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in milk and yogurt. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
3. Add reserved chicken to sauce and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
