Tikka Masala

Submitted by: Alisa Chytraus

Marinate:
3-4 chicken breast
3-6 T. Tikka Masala Paste
1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/2 can coconut milk (I did a mix of both)
Marinate overnight or 4 hours.

Heat 1-2 T. Oil in pan. Add 1/2-1 onion thinly sliced (I add peppers also), sauté. Add marinated chicken, with marinade, to pan & cook to seal. Once sealed, add 1/2 can stewed tomatoes or 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes & 1/2 cup water. I also added some fresh grated Ginger. Simmer for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Add 1/2 can coconut milk or cream.
Top with fresh cilantro, cashews, golden raisins, & or fresh coconut or just eat plain! Serve with Jasmine rice (I like it cooked with cilantro & a squeeze of lime). It usually is served with Basmati, but I love Jasmine & it is more assesible.
