For Turkey Marinade

  • 400 g turkey breasts
  • 5 tbsp plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder

For the Tikka Masala

  • 2 tbsp canola oil divided
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp coriander seeds
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 dry red chillies
  • 1 cup white onion finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the turkey with yogurt, salt and chilli powder from the marinade ingredients list. Marinate for 3 hours or even overnight.
  • Roast the turkey in oil. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey pieces and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, until they’re cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Heat remaining canola oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black pepper, red chilli, the onions and cook for 5 minutes, until softened, stirring often.
  • Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, green chilli, and salt. Let the spices cook until fragrant, about a minute.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder to the pan with the spices and let everything cook for 4 minutes, stirring often.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for another 4 minutes until oil oozes. Add the turkey pieces to the pan and coat with sauce.
  • Serve over cooked basmati rice and garnish with cilantro.
