Ingredients:

Serving

1 onion, peeled and chopped (1/2 lb.)
2 tbsp gingerroot, chopped fresh
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and chopped (about 1 oz.)
1 tbsp salad oil
2 tsp garam masala
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth , fat-skimmed
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts , boned, skinned, rinsed and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1/2 tsp black pepper, coarse-ground
salt
1/4 cup butter (1/8 lb.)
6 cups basmati rice, hot cooked
lime wedge
cilantro, chopped

Directions:

In a 5- to 6-quart pan, combine onion, ginger, chili, and oil. Stir often over high heat until onion is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garam masala.
Scrape mixture into a blender; add tomato paste and chicken broth. Whirl until very smooth.
Pour mixture back into pan, add cream, and bring to a gentle boil over high heat (mixture is inclined to spatter). Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until reduced to 3 cups, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce into a bowl. Rinse and dry pan.
Mix chicken with pepper and sprinkle lightly with salt. Set pan over high heat; add 1 tablespoon butter and the chicken. Stir until chicken is no longer pink on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sauce and simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 3 to 4 minutes. Cut remaining 3 tablespoons butter into chunks and stir into sauce until melted.
Spoon chicken and sauce onto rice. Add salt to taste. Squeeze lime juice over portions. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
