*Ginger-Garlic Paste: ½ cup whole garlic cloves ½ cup fresh ginger, peeled, and sliced ¼ cup canola oil Put the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it run until a semi-smooth paste comes together. Tiny pieces of solids are okay, but it should really resemble a paste. Store unused paste in tightly covered container in fridge for 1 - 2 weeks. Use in soups, stews, gravies.

How To Make pork (or chicken) in creamy tomato indian curry

1
Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 – 6 hours or overnight.

2
Sauce: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the olive oil and butter; add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and serrano peppers. Sauté until lightly browned around the edges. Add tomato paste and cook until tomato paste has darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and paprika; sauté for about 1 minute to develop the flavors.
3
Stir in tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. (You may need more water depending on how much liquid the tomatoes give off.)
4
Meanwhile, heat the grill. When it is hot, lightly brush it with oil. Place the chicken on the grill, shaking off some of the excess marinade. Cook until it's charred, about 2 minutes on each side. (Chicken doesn’t need to cook through at this point; it will continue to cook in the sauce.)
5
Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor, or use an immersion blender, and process until smooth. Pour back into the skillet and bring back up to a boil. Add the chicken to the sauce. Set heat simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir thoroughly.
6
Garnish with minced fresh cilantro or flat leaf parsley, and serve over rice, with naan and a small bowl of plain yogurt.
