Recipe given to me by my MIL, it's from Everyday Indian: 100 Fast, Fresh, and Healthy Recipes by Bal Arneson. I would like to try it some time. I don't like papaya, so I'll substitute mango.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon asafetida powder or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons garlic, grated

1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon paprika (spanish variety)
1 teaspoon salt
2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless or skinless cut in small cubes)
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt

Directions:
1. Place the oil, fenugreek seeds, and asafetida in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook for 10 seconds.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high.
4. Add the onion, and saute for 4 minutes until caramelized.
