πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

4. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing flavors to deepen and caramelize slightly.
5. Add garam masala, turmeric, cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, and cayenne. Toast the spices for 1 minute while stirring to enhance their bioavailability.
6. Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Return chicken to the skillet.
7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in Greek yogurt until fully incorporated, creating a creamy sauce without excess fat.
9. Season with remaining salt and lemon juice to taste. The acidity aids nutrient absorption.
10. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over cauliflower rice or brown rice to maintain metabolic optimization.
