North Indian: Chicken Masala, Shish Kebob & Tomato Curry Gravy

Tonite I'm in the mood of the Northern Indian Cuisine, thought of going out for dinner but i think the price of these Northern Indian food is way over the top so I wanna make some on my own but i couldn't find any recipe that I like or at least ones that I'm missing ( the food that i used to eat when i was studying in the UK) so I whipped my own masala dish...and it turned out superb! better than i expected even my son had his 3rd helpings...and for the first time in this house, we finished it all and that rarely happen coz my hubby is a small eater...
so here's the recipe...

Masala Chicken:
marinade
2 quarter chicken
2 tbs of generous Sour Cream (you can use plain yogurt)
salt to taste
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp ground corriander
1 tsp of freshly ground black pepper
1tsp grated ginger
1tsp paprika
2 tsp garam masala
1tsp chili powder <--(i didn't add this coz i dun haf any but i think it'll really add some color to it)

• add all ingredients mix well and marinade the chicken minimum of 1 hour but its best over night
• when done grill the chicken, you can also roast it but i think grilling will give much better result. ( i don't have grill so i roast it for a while then i fry it just to crisp the surface a little)

Shish kebob
350g minced meat
1tsp garam masala
11/2tsp sour cream
a pinch of ground cumin and corriander
1tsp tumeric powder

some ghee for frying

• mix all ingridents in the minced meat.
• tradisionally you should mould it into a sausage like thingie on a skewer but i have non of it so i just mould it like a little tiny burger
• fry it in a little of ghee until your desired done-ness

1/2c water
1tbsp of ghee
