  1. Let's start with garam masala. You can, of course, take a ready-made one. But it's not always easy to buy it, and it's interesting to cook the spice yourself. There is no canonical recipe for cooking garam masala. But you can distinguish the main ingredients that are put in almost every recipe (for example, black pepper), and those that are extremely rare (mustard, sesame). So you can cook garam masala yourself, and then buy it in the store (in one, in another) - and they will all be different. So, for our garam masala, take: 1. Coriander Seeds 3 tbsp. 2. Cumin Seeds 2 tbsp. 3. Cardamom Seeds 2 tbsp. 4. Black pepper 2 tbsp. 5. Nutmeg 1 tsp. 6. Cinnamon 1 stick 7. Whole cloves 1 tsp.

7. Whole cloves 1 tsp.
  2. In a hot frying pan (without oil), fry a little of our spices. Literally 2 minutes, until a strong aroma appears. Be careful not to overcook it. Fry everything except the nutmeg, because it is grated. And I also have black pepper in the mill, so I crushed it in advance and didn't fry it either.

  8. Add the chicken breast, season with salt and pepper. If you have little liquid, then fry the breast for 5 minutes, then add a little water and simmer for 10-15 minutes. If, like me, there is an excess of liquid, then immediately start stewing under the lid.
