Cooking Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, salt, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Mix well and marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. Cook the Chicken
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3. Add Tomato Puree
Stir in the tomato puree and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the oil begins to separate.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce
Add the marinated chicken to the pan, stirring to coat it in the sauce. Cook for 15-20 minutes on medium heat, until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Finish with Cream
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the butter chicken simmer for an additional 5 minutes, adjusting salt to taste.
6. Garnish and Serve
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan.
