Instructions
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    • I've substituted 8 oz sour cream or "fresh" yogurt for the heavy cream with good results.

    Directions:

    1. In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
    2. Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season
      chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken and onion to the

      stockpot and cook until golden, about 4-5 minutes.
    3. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili powder and turmeric until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    4. Stir in tomato sauce and chicken stock; season with salt and pepper, to
      taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally,
      until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
    5. Stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1 minute.
    6. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
