Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. If using an oven, bake for 20-25 minutes.
Prepare the sauce: In a large pan or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add spices: Add garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pour in crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
Simmer the sauce: Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Stir in heavy cream and sugar. Season with salt to taste.
Combine chicken and sauce: Add the grilled chicken pieces to the sauce and stir to coat. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot with naan bread or rice.
It was okay. The flavor wasn't as complex as I'm used to. I think the recipe could benefit from a bit more depth of flavor, perhaps by using better quality spices.
Wow! What a fantastic recipe. The flavor was out of this world. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The family loved it!
Pretty good. I found the recipe a bit too vague on the amount of spices. I ended up using a bit more than suggested, and it was just right for me. The chicken was tender.
It was good, but not quite as flavorful as I was hoping for. I think I might have needed to marinate the chicken for longer. The sauce was a bit thin too. Still, a decent weeknight meal.
This was a great recipe! The sauce was delicious, and the chicken was tender. I made it a little spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Definitely worth trying.
