Chicken Murgh Tikka Masala - Reduced Fat image

I have revamped this a number of time and finally came up with the perfect recipe. The picture up does not do it justice and next time I make it I will post a better photo. You can make this either on a stove top or crock pot. I like the crock because the meat comes out even more tender.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon low-fat butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 jalapeno chile, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup regular whipping cream
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Chicken Marinade: combine marinade recipe in a bowl or food-safe plastic bag; stir in cubed chicken, marinate in refrigerator 1-24 hours.
  • Masala Sauce: Melt butter (can use sprays or I can't believe it is not butter) in a skillet or pot over medium heat, add garlic, ginger, half the onion and jalapeno; cook till soft. Move to pot or crock pot and add spices (except garam and cilantro), rest of onions, and tomatoe puree.
  • On same skillet cook chicken cubes with marinade till 3/4 cooked entirely, all the way if moving to the quicker pot method. Add to pot or slow cooker with masala sauce.
  • Slow cooker -- set on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. If pot, then cook for an additional 30 minutes on low heat.
  • Add in garam masala and cream 30-45 minutes before serving for crock pot, and 10 minutes for stove top pot. Taste and add more if needed.
  • Add cilantro right before serving.
