====Description====
Tasty tomato-based Indian curry dish

====Ingredients====
  *Canned diced tomatoes: 28 oz
  *Jalapeno peppers: 2, stems removed
  *Ginger: 2 tbsp, diced \\ \\ 
  *Heavy cream: 3/4 cup
  *Greek yogurt: 3/4 cup
  *Kosher salt: 2 tsp \\ \\ 
  *Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick) \\ \\ 
  *Chicken thighs: 2.5 lbs (~10 thighs), boneless, skinless, quartered, and salted \\ \\ 
  *Ground cumin: 2 tsp
  *Paprika: 1 tbsp \\ \\ 
  *Cornstarch: 2 tbsp
  *Water: 2 tbsp \\ \\ 
  *Garam masala: 1 tbsp
  *Cumin seeds: roasted in pan, finely ground into 2 tsp

====Notes====
  *Serve with naan or rice
  *I'd like to try replacing 25% of the tomato sauce with more heavy cream. I'd also like to try adding in some fresh garlic. It may be reasonable to increase garam masala to 1.5 tbsp
  *If you're using store-bought garam masala, make sure it is GF if that matters. The recipe for [[bomb tikka masala]] includes a recipe for garam masala if you'd like to make your own

====Instructions====
  -Finely puree tomatoes, jalapenos, and ginger in food processor. Then stir in cream, yogurt, and salt
  -Melt butter over medium heat and continue heating until foam subsides, stirring constantly. Add chicken in batches, browning and removing each batch
  -Add ground cumin and paprika to the butter and saute for a few seconds
  -Add tomato mixture and chicken, along with any juices/butter
  -Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then natural release for 7 minutes, then quick release
  -Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl
  -Add garam masala, roasted cumin, and cornstarch/water mixture
  -Bring to a boil and reduce until desired consistency is achieved
