1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cloves garlic, grated

Steps:

For the marinade: Combine the oil, ginger, curry powder, garam masala, paprika, garlic, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
