Easy Chicken Tikka Masala
  1. For the marination, place chicken cubes into a large bowl.

  2. Add in the yogurt, coriander seed powder, cumin seed powder, black pepper powder, turmeric, cinnamon, red pepper powder/cayenne powder, and ginger garlic.

  3. Mix everything well so that the chicken is evenly coated with the marination. The longer you keep it marinate the better for the flavor, however, if you are in a hurry just marinate it as long as you can spare time and then continue with the preparation.

  4. For the cooking process, heat up a deep pan and add the butter. Add in the onion and cook soft.

  5. Add a piece of bay leaf to the pan and let it cook for a minute. This will bring out the bay leaf flavors.

  6. Throw in the diced tomato and stir cook until a bit soft. Don't let them burn on.

  7. Add in your tomato paste with the cream and mix the whole pan contents well. Pour in the water, mix again, cover and let it cook until tomato has softened considerably.

  8. Now you can add in the chicken with the marination. Mix it all well!

  9. Cover and cook on medium heat until chicken is soft.

  10. Pick out and discard bay leaf.

  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro (aka coriander)
