Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato puree

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Pour in the tomato puree, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 15 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer for another 10 minutes.
  6. Season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
