Method

Butter Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Puree

    Stir in the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is browned. Add the tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust salt if necessary, then remove from heat.

Vegetable Fillings Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the tomato, cucumber, and onion, and shred the lettuce. Set aside.

  2. 6

    Chop Cilantro

    Chop fresh cilantro and set aside for garnishing the sandwich.

Citrus Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Sando

    Take a piece of naan and spread a generous amount of butter chicken on it. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, and onion. Drizzle with citrus vinaigrette and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Fold the naan over to create a sandwich.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Repeat the assembly for the remaining naan pieces. Serve immediately while warm.
