Ingredients

Marinade:

Method

Marinade: In bowl, whisk together plain yogurt, hot pepper, garlic, ginger, paprika and oil.
Add chicken to marinade; toss to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

Scrape chicken mixture onto foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until edges are lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add garam masala, paprika, cumin, salt and turmeric; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, 1 cup water and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes, for 10 minutes.

Add chicken mixture; simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes. Stir in cream and cilantro; cook for 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.
