Method<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

MARINADE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.<\/li>\n
  3. Preheat the oven to 500\u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with sides or roasting pan with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  4. Place the marinated chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges or an internal temperature of 167 degrees.\u00a0 You can certainly grill the chicken too and get a nice char going.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    SAUCE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then saut\u00e9 the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned.<\/li>\n
    2. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, cayenne, mustard seed, celery salt, black pepper and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant.<\/li>\n
    3. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 \u00bc cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
    4. Pour in the cream and stir until combined and creamy.<\/li>\n
    5. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.<\/li>\n
    6. Remove from heat and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or with Naan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
