add the chicken. Cook for a couple of mins on one side, then turn over
and cook on the other side for about a min Turn heat back to medium, and
then add all the spices, stirring for a minute to blend in. Add tomato
sauce and stir until blended thoroughly.Add 1/4 cup of water to make a
sauce consistency. Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked
through. (Stir twice to make sure chicken is not sticking to bottom.)

peeled garlic and ginger in a food processor. Store any extra paste in
the refrigerator. Garam masala is a blend of spices often used in Indian
cooking. It's available in Indian markets and in many supermarkets.
