Ingredients
Spicy Chicken Curry
- Ingredients
- 12 ozs Chicken breasts
- 2 ozs Tikka masala paste
- 3 Tbsps Greek yogurt
- 3 small red onions
- 1 pc ginger
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 15 ozs Canned tomatoes (Drained)
- 1 Tbsp Tomato paste
- 3 ozs Soy creamer
- salt
- black peppers
- Black cumin seeds (optional)
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut into thick slices, then cubes.
In a bowl, combine Tikka Masala Seasoning Mix, yogurt and chicken cubes; mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight, if desired for maximum flavor.
Peel the onions and cut into thick strips. Peel and finely chop ginger. Heat oil in a skillet; sauté onions and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add diced chicken and fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Lightly crush tomatoes and add to skillet along with tomato paste and approximately 2 tablespoons; bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until tomatoes are softened, about 10 minutes.
Toward the end of the cooking time, pour in a bit of the soy milk; bring to a boil again quickly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with remaining soy milk. Sprinkle to taste with nigella seeds (or substitute fennel seeds). Serve with brown rice, if desired.
