Homemade Butter Chicken

Instructions

• On a cutting board, slice the chicken into bite size pieces.
• Combine the chicken with the yogurt, ginger garlic paste, chili powder, garam masala, salt, turmeric, and cumin and mix to coat well.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven 430˚F (220˚C).
• Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto bamboo skewers, then place them over a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions and tomato purée, until tender but not browned.
• Add the garlic ginger paste, cardamom pods, cloves, chili powder, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric and fry for about 30 seconds to release their aromatics and flavor, stirring constantly.
• Pour in the cream and mix well with the onion and spices.
• When the cream mixture is bubbling, add in the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Serve with naan bread and rice and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!
