In a medium-sized bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, garam masala, salt, ginger and chicken; stir until well combined and chicken is coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside. Wipe out skillet before making the sauce. Return the skillet to medium-high heat.
Melt butter in the skillet; add onion; saute 5 minutes, until onion starts to get tender. Add garlic, jalapeno, cumin, paprika and garam masala; toast for 1-2 minutes. Add tomato sauce and heavy cream; season with salt; bring to a simmer. When it comes to a simmer, add chicken back into the skillet; stir; remove from heat.
Serve hot over cooked rice and garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
