Chicken Tikka Masala

This was sooo good! We loved it! I did make some changes.

Ingredients :

•     1 cup yogurt
•     1 tablespoon lemon juice
•     2 teaspoons ground cumin
•     1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•     2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
•     2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
•    

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

    4 teaspoons salt, or to taste

    3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

    4 long skewers

    1 tablespoon butter

    1 clove garlic, minced

    1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

    2 teaspoons ground cumin

    2 teaspoons paprika

    3 teaspoons salt, or to taste

    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

    1 cup heavy cream

    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions :

1. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Preheat a grill for high heat.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side.
4. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Season with 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 3 teaspoons salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
