A fantastic weeknight meal ready in under 30 minutes. Chicken cooked in a rich curry and apricot sauce. Best served over rice as a complete meal. Garam Masala is a warm and highly spiced mix (without any heat) from India that consists of ground spices including cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, and black pepper.
