  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. Add chicken pieces, coat well, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    ⏱️ 60 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Marinating tenderizes the chicken and infuses flavors
  2. 2

    In a large pan over medium heat, heat vegetable oil and 2 tbsp of butter. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    ⏱️ 8 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Cooking the onions well is crucial for flavor
  3. 3

    Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Ensure chicken is cooked through
  4. 4

    Stir in tomato puree and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

    ⏱️ 20 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Simmering melds flavors together
  5. 5

    Finish by adding heavy cream and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish)
