Chicken Tikka Masala

Ingredients

Chicken:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

2 lb skinless, boneless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

½ tsp of curry powder

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp ground coriander

Sauce:

2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)

1 onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp cinnamon, ground

1 tbsp cumin powder

1 tsp ginger powder

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp ground turmeric

½ tsp cayenne pepper

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tsp paprika

1 tbsp white sugar

Marinate chicken in curry powder, garam masala, and coriander.
Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir chicken into the hot oil, and sear chicken until cooked. Set chicken with any pan juices aside.
Using the same pot, heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir cinnamon, cumin, ginger, salt, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, into the onion mixture; fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir tomato sauce into the onion and spice mixture. Simmer for 5 min.
Mix in cream, paprika, sugar and chicken.
Bring sauce back to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
