1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1 Tablespoon gram masala

4 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

4 naan breads

  1. Combine yogurt, Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, cumin, coriander, gram masala, turmeric, 3 cloves chopped garlic, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the until well combined. Place ricotta cheese in a fine mesh strainer and let sit for an hour.
  2. Cut the chicken thighs into 1 inch dices. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour yogurt marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and toss the chicken in the bag until evenly coated with marinade. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches cook the chicken in the skillet until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
