1.  Combine all the marinade ingredients and add the chicken.  Marinade for an hour or two, if you remember ahead of time...if not, that's okay, I forget all the time.

2.  Start cooking your rice, follow the directions on the package.

3.  In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for 1 minute.

4.  Add the chicken and all the marinade.  Cook until chicken is almost cooked through.

5.  Add coriander, methi powder, garam masala, cumin, paprika, salt, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.  Simmer about 15 minutes.

6.  Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream.  Warm through.

7.  Serve over rice, garnish with cilantro.

Eat with this Naan bread.
