Butter Chicken

This recipe comes from Easy Peasy Meals. I've tried a few variations of this but I like how simple this recipe is. Unfortunately, her site keeps crashing and pretty much attacks you with ads so I'm posting it here.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs boneless and skinless or chicken breast (boneless and skinless) cut into pieces.
Salt and Pepper
½ cup sour cream or plain greek style yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp Garam Masala
½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 Tbs ginger paste
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbs vegetable oil
1 cup pureed tomatoes
1 Tbs white granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:
Cut chicken into pieces, and season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the sour cream or plain yogurt with the lemon juice, tumeric, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, ginger paste, minced garlic, and toss with chunked up chicken.

Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Preferably longer.

Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a large fry pan.

Add the chicken coated in the Marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add the pureed tomato, sugar and salt.

Turn down to low and cover with lid. Let simmer for 20 minutes if using chicken thighs, 15 minutes if using chicken breasts.

Add the cream, and stir well.

Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Serve over rice and enjoy!
