Start by marinating your chicken in a blend of yogurt, garlic, ginger, and a bit of spice. Let the chicken soak up all those flavors for 30 minutes. It¡¯s like giving your chicken a flavor bath, and trust me, it¡¯s worth the wait.

Throw that marinated chicken into a hot pan and cook until golden brown. No need for perfection here, just a nice sear to lock in all those juices. Crispy edges will give you that flavour-packed bite you¡¯re craving.

Now, let¡¯s get saucy. Melt butter in a pan and saut¨¦ onions, garlic, and ginger until they¡¯re soft and fragrant. This is the base of your magic sauce, and the smell? HEAVENLY!

Pour in pureed tomatoes and stir in your spices (garam masala and chili powder). Let the tomatoes break down into a rich, velvety sauce. You¡¯re creating liquid gold, one spice at a time.

Now, add that creamy goodness¡ªheavy cream¡ªand let it simmer until everything is perfectly blended. This step is key for the richness, so don¡¯t rush it. The longer it simmers, the more flavourful it gets.

Once your sauce is ready, drop the chicken back in and coat it thoroughly. Stir gently so every piece gets enveloped in that luscious, buttery sauce. This is when the magic truly happens. Pro tip: If you like it sweet add a spoon of sugar!

Top it off with a sprinkle of fresh corainder and a drizzle of cream. Serve hot with garlic naan or rice, and get ready to impress everyone at the table with your delicious, homemade butter chicken!?
