    Ingredients

    • 1 lb chicken, cut into small cubes (I prefer tenders or breast, but traditional recipes use dark meat)
    • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
    • 12 oz tomato puree (canned)
    • 1 tbsp fresh garlic, grated
    • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
    • 2 tbsp butter chicken masala (use more or less depending on spice level preference) shan brand works well
    • 1 stick butter (salted or unsalted) can use half for a healthier version
    • 1 tsp turmeric powder
    • ¼ cup kasoori methi leaves (finely grounded) dried fenugreek leaves
    • 1 tbsp sugar (more or less-the measurement depends on tomato puree brand)
    • 1 tbsp dry coriander powder
    • oil
    • red chili powder
    • salt (amount will vary based on salted or unsalted butter usage)
    • cilantro for garnishment handful

    Directions

    1. Heat a pan on medium heat and add oil + half a stick of butter. Add chopped raw chicken and 1 tbsp of butter chicken masala. Mix and cook with no lid.
    2. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Some water might form in the pan and that is okay.
    3. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, dry coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix and cook for about a minute.
