Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces into the marinade and coat them well. Marinate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess, and add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Add tomato paste to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Step 11
