Ingredients

  • 12.7 oz (360 g) chicken breast, cubes
  • 2.8 oz (80 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 10.6 oz (300 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 4.2 oz (120 g) onion, chopped
  • 1.8 oz (50 g) heavy cream
  • 0.4 oz (10 g) garlic, minced
  • 0.4 oz (10 g) ginger, grated
  • 2.0 tsp (4 g) garam masala
  • 1.0 tsp (2 g) paprika
  • 1.0 tsp (2 g) ground cumin
  • 3.1 tsp (14 g) olive oil

Method

  1. Mix chicken with yogurt, half the garam masala, paprika and half the salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, additional to prep time.
  2. Heat half the oil in a wide skillet. Cook chicken in batches for 5–6 minutes, lightly browning; transfer to a plate.
  3. Add remaining oil and onion; soften for 7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, cumin and remaining garam masala for 30 seconds.
  4. Add tomatoes and remaining salt and simmer for 8 minutes. Return chicken and simmer for 8–10 minutes until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Stir in cream and warm gently for 2 minutes. Serve in bowls; extra rice is not included.

Cook’s note: An Indian-inspired British-Indian home adaptation. Allow 30 minutes marinating; adjust chili separately if desired, but it is not required here.
