Description
A rich, mildly spiced Indian dish featuring marinated chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. Full-fat cream and butter create a luxurious texture, while fresh and dried tomatoes add depth. Perfect with naan or rice.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
4 large tomatoes (1 fresh, 3 canned, plus juice)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup full-fat cream
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 fresh onion, chopped
1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
Spices (turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander)
Crushed kasuri methi (optional for finishing)
Instructions
Cut chicken thighs into 2.5cm cubes
Sauté onions until golden (6-7 minutes)
Add garlic-ginger paste and cook for 1 minute
Dissolve spices in water and add to pan
Add fresh tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid evaporates
Stir in yogurt and simmer for 5 minutes
Whisk in butter and cream gradually to avoid curdling
Blend sauce with immersion blender
Return chicken to pan and simmer for 10 minutes

Marinate chicken for 30 minutes for maximum flavor
Room-temperature chicken prevents moisture loss
