Instructions
Make the chicken: Combine yogurt
garam masala
paprika
black pepper
salt
cayenne pepper
and coriander in a large bowl. Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet.
Remove chicken from marinade and place onto the prepared baking sheet
leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink inside
about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and set aside.
Make the sauce: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook
sirring gently
until lightly toasted and aromatic
about 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until onion begins to soften
4 to 5 minutes. Add chile peppers
garlic
and ginger; continue to cook and stir until onion is browned
15 to 20 minutes. Stir in tomatoes
tomato paste
and water; cook
stirring occasionally
until tomatoes begin to break down
about 10 minutes.
Add garam masala
coriander
turmeric
and salt
then stir in chicken and cream until well combined; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
