步骤

This recipe is intended to be paired with leftover chicken from the tandoori chicken recipe. Breast works well, but thighs could work too. If not using leftovers, double the spice mix and prepare a yogurt based marinade using half the spices (or whatever you want). At least 4hrs in advance, preferably overnight. grill over very high heat.

combine everything for the spice mix and set aside.

Heat the butter over medium-low heat in the Dutch oven.

Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. The grated aromatics shouldn't take very long.

Add the serrano, then the spice mixture, and cook, stirring frequently, until very aromatic, about 45—60 seconds.

Add the crushed tomatoes and stir everything to combine. Be sure to scrape up and nice brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Meanwhile, chop the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces. Now is also a good time to prepare the rice.

Optionally, use a blender or immersion blender to get a smoother sauce before adding the chicken.

Once the sauce has simmered, add the chicken and stir to combine. Heat through if using cold leftover chicken.

Add the cream and stir to combine.

Serve over fragrant basmati rice with warmed flatbreads and garnish everything with more cilantro.
