8 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lime juice
4 inch cinnamon stick
8 whole cloves
8 cardamom pods
10 black peppercorns
1 tablespoon oil
2 1/4 pounds fresh tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (opt)
1 tablespoon white pepper (essential)
1 ounce cream cheese
1/2 pound butter (1 cup)Recipe
Make a smooth paste of yogurt, garlic, ginger, lime juice, cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms, peppercorns and the oil. Marinate the chicken in this for 6 hours, in a fridge. Bake the chicken in a preheated oven for 15 minutes at 250ºF. Put it aside. Cut tomatoes, put them in a pan (no water) and boil.
When the quantity has dropped by half, strain through a fine sieve. What comes out of the sieve is the tomato sauce. Take a pan, start heating the sauce, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the white pepper, salt, fenugreek leaves and cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Mix the chicken pieces into this sauce. Cover and cook on a low flame until the chicken is done. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with rice. Serves 4-6.
