i used to live in utah where there is this amazing indian food restaurant called the bombay house. i think about it nightly... i miss it A LOT. my husband and i like to coin ourselves as indian food connoisseurs-- we know the good stuff when we taste it. we've had indian food in a few different countries now... and i still think bombay house is the best.
i live in san francisco now and just moved here a few weeks ago. haven't had a minute to venture out for some good indian food, but i'll bet they've got some! until then, i'm going to make my own.
found this on the food network. YUM. enjoy!
Ingredients
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 small red onion, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 4 teaspoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 3/4 teaspoons hot paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat the broiler. Make shallow cuts in the chicken thighs with a sharp knife. Toss the chicken with the lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
Pulse 2 tablespoons yogurt, the vegetable oil, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, coriander, cumin, 11/2 teaspoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor to make a paste. Toss the chicken in the mixture and let marinate 15 minutes.
Place the chicken on a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil, turning once, until slightly charred and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika, the cilantro and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Top the chicken with the yogurt sauce and serve with rice, if desired.

The Bombay House is the best! :)
I've never tried Indian food before, and I used to live a few block from the Bombay house in Provo. I'll have to give your recipe here a try to see if I like it.
