For butter chicken sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 medium tomatoes, pureed (or 1/2 cup canned tomato puree)
• 1 tsp red chili powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
• Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) – optional but adds great flavor

Instructions:

Marinate the Chicken:

• In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook the Chicken:

• Heat a bit of oil or butter in a pan. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Set it aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

• In the same pan, melt the butter and add oil. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute.
• Add pureed tomatoes, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin, coriander powder, and salt. Stir and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
• Add water (about 1/4 cup) to adjust the consistency if needed.

4. Combine Chicken with Sauce:

• Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
• Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 3-5 minutes on low heat.
• If you have kasuri methi, crush it and add to the dish at this stage.

5. Garnish and Serve:

• Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan or rice.
