    Preparation Steps

    1

    Dice the chicken breast and, in a bowl, mix with the yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and Hungarian sweet paprika. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until golden brown. Set aside.

    3

    In the same skillet, melt the butter, then add the canned crushed tomatoes and garam masala. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

    4

    Pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and return the cooked chicken to the sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    5

    Meanwhile, cook the basmati rice: bring 400 ml of salted water to a boil, then add the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.

    6

    To serve, place the basmati rice on a plate, top with the chicken tikka masala, and garnish with fresh, finely chopped cilantro.
