    1. Cut the chicken breast into large cubes and put them in a baking dish. 2. Add salt, half the garam masala, and the ground coriander. Peel half the ginger root (a teaspoon is a handy, thrifty way to scrape off the skin) and grate it finely over the chicken. Peel half the garlic and press it in. Add the juice of half a lemon (roll the lemon firmly on the counter first, and cut it lengthwise — but not right through the center — for much more juice) along with the yogurt. Mix everything well, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator from 5 hours up to a full day. 3. Bake the marinated chicken at 425°F (220°C) until golden. 4. Heat the sunflower oil and butter in a skillet. For better flavor and a more authentic result, use ghee instead of the oil-and-butter mix — it doesn't burn and tastes wonderful! Add the bay leaf, cardamom pods, cloves, coriander seeds, and cumin to the fat. Warm through, stirring. 5. Peel and chop the onion and add it to the pan. Fry until golden. 6. Add the grated ginger and pressed garlic. Stir, warm through, and add the crushed tomatoes. 7. Peel and thinly slice the chili and add it to the tomatoes and onion. Along with the chili, add the remaining garam masala, the cinnamon, paprika, curry powder, and turmeric. Stir, warm through, and add the tomato paste. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. 8. Transfer the golden chicken into the skillet with the tomato sauce. Stir in the cream. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. 9. Rinse the rice, add a cup of water, and cook over very low heat for 18 minutes. Season with saffron and stir. Done. Enjoy!
