Chicken tikka masala, green beans, and naan

I enjoyed this meal just a few minutes ago, and it was really great. Here it is part by part:


Naan (bread) 6 pieces:

Check out Manjula's other videos on youtube. She has a lot of great-tasting and easy-to-follow recipes.


Chicken tikka (serves 1-2):

Marinate 1 diced chicken breast for a couple hours in:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
splash lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1" piece of minced ginger (or 1 tsp ginger powder)
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp paprika

After the chicken has marinated, saute half a diced onion in neutral oil. When the onion is transparent, add the yogurt/chicken mixture. Cook until the chicken is firm.

This dish is best served over basmati rice.


Green beans (serves 1-2):

I improvised this after reading some similar recipes on the web.

Cook two minced cloves of garlic with half a diced onion in oil.
When the onion is lightly browned, add a large handful of green beans (1" lengths), a splash of lemon juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, a little butter, a dash of chili powder, and a few tablespoons of water. Simmer until the green beans are tender. You may need to add water as the beans cook.
