• 1 tsp kosher salt
  
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  
• 1 cup plain yogurt
  
• Masala Sauce:
  
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  
• 1 onion, about 1 1/2 cup
  
• 2 garlic cloves
  
• 2 tsp ginger
  
• 1 jalapeno pepper

Instructions



1. In a bowl add the yogurt, garlic, ginger, and spices. Mix to combine.
   
2. Cut the chicken into long strips and trim off any excess fat.
   
3. Mix the chicken into the yogurt mixture. Refrigerate for one hour, or up to one day.
   
4. In a food processor add the onion, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, tomato paste, and spices. Mix until the mixture is very fine. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to one day.
   
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill, or broil, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Dice into bite sized chunks and set aside.
   
6. In a heavy pot heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook until it darkens slightly, about five minutes. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for five minutes.
   
7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream then stir in the chicken.
   
8. Serve with steamed rice, fresh naan, and garnish with the cilantro.
