Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, garam masala, salt, and fresh ginger. Stir to combine, then add the chicken. Mix the chicken with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 48 hours.
Cook the chicken: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade; do not wipe off the meat, but discard the marinade left in the bowl. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it is sautéed on all sides, 3-5 minutes.
Finish the sauce: To the skillet, add the tomato puree, heavy cream, honey, and salt. Stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and the chicken is fully cooked, 20-25 minutes.
Serve the chicken over the cooked rice, garnishing as desired with cilantro, cashews, and chilies.
