    i use one from taste, you could simply remove or reduce the amount of chilli.. will go find the recipe....BBS

    Ingredients (serves 4)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    1kg chicken thigh fillets, trimmed and halved (quartered if extra large)
    1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
    2 teaspoons ground coriander
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon garam masala (see note)
    1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
    1 cup tomato puree
    1/3 cup thick natural yoghurt
    1/2 cup thickened cream
    warm roti, to serve
    1/4 cup toasted flaked almonds, to serve
    coriander leaves, to serve

    Method
    Heat oil and half the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan over high heat. Cook chicken, in batches, until browned. Remove to a plate.

    Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter. Add ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add coriander, cumin, garam masala and chilli powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomato puree and a pinch of salt and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Return chicken to saucepan with yoghurt and cream. Simmer a further 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with almonds and coriander. Serve with roti.

    Notes
    Note: Garam masala is a blend of dried spices usually including coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cardamom seeds, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and grated nutmeg.
