This traditional Indian dish was suggested to me by my friend from Mumbai. It is creamy and full of flavor and should be served over some kind of carb (rice, potatoes, naan) to absorb and dissimulate the spice. It can be easily done in a vegetarian version by substituting the chicken with potatoes, broccoli, spinach and/or paneer. I garnish it with cilantro leaves and grated cheese.

1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, mashed into a paste

1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons white pepper
5 saffron threads
salt to taste
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken, cut in 1-inch pieces

Stir together the yogurt, garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, white pepper, and saffron; season to taste with salt. Toss the chicken in the yogurt and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 12 hours.
