6 ounces canned, no-salt-added tomato paste -
2 teaspoon ground cumin -
1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander -

1/2 teaspoon cayenne -
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (all visible fat discarded, cut into bite-size pieces) -

1 medium fresh jalapeño (seeds and ribs discarded, chopped) -
1 tablespoon minced, peeled gingerroot -
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro -

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for about 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently. -
Stir in the garlic powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. -
Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. -
Stir in the chicken, sour cream, and salt. If the mixture seems dry, gradually stir in a little water as needed. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. -

Just before serving, sprinkle with the cilantro and garam masala.
Cooking Tip: Dry-roasted spices are ground together to make the distinctive blend known as garam masala. It may include 10 to 12 different spices, such as cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, and mace, and is usually added to food near the end of cooking or right before the dish is served to enhance the complexity of flavor.
