DIRECTIONS
Curry:
Put the oil in a large skillet and brown the chicken. Set chicken aside on a plate.
In same skillet, reduce heat to med-high and add in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onions are translucent (8min). Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 T water.
Let it heat for a minute then add in the tomatoes, milk, sour cream, 1 T cilantro, and 1 t salt.
Add the chicken back into the skillet along with 1/2 c water. Bring to a boil, make sure the chicken gets coated. Add in the other 1T of cilantro and garam marsala.
Cover skillet and simmer until chicken is thoroughly cooked (about 20min). Sprinkle the lemon juice on top.
Naan:
In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand until frothy, about 10 min.
Stir in the sugar, egg, milk, salt, and flour until dough is soft.
Knead on a floured surface until dough isn't brutally sticky.
Place dough in a plastic bowl (or a bowl with a little oil in it) and let rise, about 1 hour.
Beat the hell out of the dough on floured surface and add in the garlic.
Form dough into balls and allow to rise another 30 min or so.
Preheat skillet on stove medium heat.
Roll out each dough ball, and cook one at a time in the skillet along with baking soda for a couple minutes or until slightly browned. While cooking brush the dough with butter. The baking soda helps make the naan bubbly.
note: When I made this I made the naan the day before, and refrigerated the dough balls until I was ready to cook them. The curry is spicy fyi :) Add more tomatoes/milk and cut back on the spices to make it milder. I made a mild version of this and also added in sliced Andouille sausage. I have also used Stonefire brand ready-made naan (Bakes in 3min) when short on time and it was really good.
