Tikki Masala: gluten free, dairy free, onion free

this was my first time making Tikki Masala and i am SO MAD THAT I DIDN'T GET A FINAL PICTURE. it was beautiful.
the flour i used in this was amaranth flour, and i highly reccommend it. it is a lot finer than a lot of flours and created a very even crust! 

Tikki Masala: gluten free, dairy free, onion free
4 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup amaranth flour
1 pound chicken tenders
4 teaspoon canola oil, divided
6 clove garlic, minced
4 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 canplum diced tomatoes, drained

Stir together garam masala, salt, and turmeric in a small dish. Place flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture and dredge in the flour. (Reserve the remaining spice mix and 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour).
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often, until starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the reserved spice mix and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle with the reserved 1 tablespoon flour and stir until coated. Add tomatoes and their juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring and breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
