3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon salt

  • Cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken starts to brown.
  • Stir in the sour cream and water and increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Wait for a boil, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked, being sure to stir the pot a few times.
  • When your chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Fish out the cinnamon and let your food cool for 30 minutes or more. Remove the chicken from the pot and its meat from its bones before adding the meat back into the masala.
