Cooking Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Cook the Onions
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Chicken and Cook
Add the marinated chicken to the pan with the onions and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Make the Sauce
Stir in the tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Finish with Cream
Add the heavy cream to the sauce, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
6. Garnish and Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan.
