Ingredients

4 chicken breasts each sliced into 3 or 4 long strips (or 12-16 chicken tenders)

Marinade

1 c plain yogurt

1 T lemon juice

2 teas ground cumin

2 teas ground black pepper

2 teas red Indian Curry paste (tomato and cilantro-Palek brand or you can substitute your favorite pure chile powder)

1 teas cinnamon

1 teas kosher salt

1 T minced fresh ginger

Tomato Cream Sauce

1 T butter

2 cloves garlic minced

2 teas ground coriander

1 teas paprika (or cayenne or chili powder if you want it spicier)

1 teas garam masala (available at Indian groceries or can be homemade)

1 teas kosher salt

8 oz tomato sauce

1 c cream or half & half

1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a non-reactive dish.

Stir in the chicken strips until all are covered.

Cover with plastic wrap and then marinade for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator

When the marinading time is over, pull the strips out and thread them on bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water.

Discard the remaining marinade.

Grill the chicken on a barbeque, in a grill pan, or under a broiler. They will cook quickly and be very tender.

Remove from skewer and cut the strips into 1" pieces.

Prepare the tomato cream cream sauce by melting the butter in a pan.

Add the garlic and all the spices and herbs. Saute for a minute.

Add the tomato sauce. Whisk well to get all the good bits off the bottom of the pan.

Add the cream. Stir well.

Add the chicken and heat the chicken through.

Add the cilantro and serve.

Serve with basmati rice and naan.

Looks like an excellent -- & easy! -- version of classic Indian take-out, be that in Britain or not :)
I like the fact that you included your suggestion for the Palek red curry paste, especially since curry pastes (of any colour) vary so much.....
Thanks :)
