Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 onion, minced

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- Pinch of saffron threads, crumbled

- In large, deep skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the cayenne, turmeric and coriander and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Whisk in the yogurt, then add the cream, garam masala and saffron and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
