Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450*F
2. Sprinkle chicken breasts with turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, and salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165*F.
3. In a heavy bottom pan toast the cinnamon stick, cardamom, cloves, cumin seed, coriander seed, sesame seeds and black peppercorns over high heat until fragrant. Set aside.
4. In a food processor, add garlic, ginger, onion, and toasted spices. Break up cinnamon sticks first for an easier grind. Add Kashmiri Chili Powder and blend until mixture forms a paste.
5. Heat oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the masala to the hot pan. Turn heat down to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes. Beware, there will be some splatter. Add salt to taste.
6. Stir in tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the color has started to darken.
7. Add the coconut milk and stir in to incorporate.
8. Remove chicken from the oven, cut into 1” pieces and add to the curry, stirring to fully coat the chicken.
9. Serve with rice or enjoy by itself!

This recipe is delicious! I recommend watching the video that is listed above. The printed one is good as is, but the video has A LOT of extra tips. Also watch your chicken to not overbake it, especially if you have smaller pieces of chicken, and you’re busy making the sauce at the same time. He talks about different meat/veg options too. He uses two smaller cans or one big 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes.
What size can for the crushed tomatoes?
