Does anyone have an easy recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala?

I love Indian food but know nothing much about the spices.Does anyone have an easy recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala?
INGREDIENTS


235 ml yogurt


15 ml lemon juice


4 g ground cumin


2 g ground cinnamon


4 g cayenne pepper


4 g freshly ground black pepper


6 g minced fresh ginger


25 g salt, or to taste


3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces


4 long skewers





15 g butter


1 clove garlic, minced


1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped


4 g ground cumin


5 g paprika


20 g salt, or to taste


1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce


235 ml heavy cream


10 g chopped fresh cilantro








DIRECTIONS


In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.


Preheat a grill for high heat.


Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side.


Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Season with 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 3 teaspoons salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro.








thats a good one :). If you put cumin powder in any curry it will usually be a great one. you dont have to use bite size pieces. If you use bigger pieces just cook it a little bit longer.Does anyone have an easy recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala?
