Directions

Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the grapeseed oil. When it starts to get hot, add the garlic, ginger and onions, and cook until the onions are golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cumin, garam masala, brown sugar, chili flakes, salt and turmeric, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and stir well to coat. Stir in the yogurt and 1/2 cup water and cook until the chicken is done, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, and then shred the meat using a fork or your fingers.

    After seeing this on TV yesterday I made this last night. Absolutely loved it. The spices were spot on...gave a nice mouth tingle. I didn't shred the chicken, simply pounded the breast before cutting into cubes, then cooked as directed. They were nice and tender. The only thing I'd suggest is adding some golden raisins to the mixture to add a hint of sweetness, then topping with toasted almonds.
