Cooking Steps

Step 1

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Sauté aromatics: Heat butter in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute.

Finish the dish: Stir in fresh cream and kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). Simmer for another 5 minutes.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So quick and easy to make, and it tastes like it took hours. The flavor is incredible, and it's perfect with naan bread. Highly recommended!

    Very good! I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit more heat, and it was fantastic. The chicken was so tender, and the sauce was creamy. Will be making this again soon!

    I followed the recipe, but the sauce was bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to get any flavor. Disappointed.

    The recipe was easy to follow, but I found the sauce a bit too thin. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough? The flavor was good, though.

    Emily R.3

    It was okay. The sauce tasted a bit too tomato-y for me. I might try using a different brand of crushed tomatoes next time to see if that helps.
