Ingredients

1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
3 tbsp tikka masala paste
400 ml tomato sauce
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 cinnamon stick
4 cardamom pods, crushed
150 ml heavy cream
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Basmati rice, cooked, for serving

Method

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
3
Stir in the tikka masala paste, tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, honey, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer.
4
Add the chicken back to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
5
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6
Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
7
Serve with basmati rice and naan bread if desired.
