Step 1:

Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning chicken occasionally, until browned for 5 to 6 minutes. Grab and add your onion, garlic and ginger; cook, and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add tomato paste, turmeric, garam masala and cayenne; cook and stir constantly, until spices are toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, stock, cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, while stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve over rice.
