Angela's Chicken Tikka Masala

I loveeeeeeee this chicken!! I hope you enjoy it! i've only used my curry paste to make this dish...but if you reallllllllly dont want to make mine *sniff*, you can use whatever kind you wish to use. I highly recommend making the recipe as is... You'll just love it! (this recipe of curry paste makes extra; save the extra for later or make a smaller amount)

Steps

Prepare all ingredients for curry paste.

Heat fry pan and add all ingredients and heat for 4-5 minutes.

Scrape ingredients into blender and blend until a smooth paste.

Scrape out of blender and put into a small bowl.

Clean out your blender.

Curry powder will stain.

Assemble your blender again , as you will be using it again in a few minutes !.

Clean chicken and cut into small pieces , approximately 1 inch pieces.

In your blender add garlic , ginger , tomato and yogurt and blend until all is nice and smooth.

Keep lid on blender and set aside for later.

Measure oil into a nice sized pan and heat on medium heat.

Add onion and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Add the yogurt-tomato mixture from your blender and stir constantly for one minute.

Add the curry paste and stir constantly for another minute or so.

Then add cubed chicken to the pan and completely mix.

Add heavy cream at this time and stir constantly until mixture starts to bubble.
