Chicken and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and half of the garam masala and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add the pureed tomatoes, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and the remaining garam masala to the pan. Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens.

  5. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and stir well. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Add Cream

    Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with naan or rice.
