Step 1

In a bowl, mix together yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt, red chili powder, turmeric, dried fenugreek, cumin seeds, and the chicken. Let it marinate well, ideally for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan and cook the chicken until it’s almost done, about 80-90%. Make sure it gets a nice golden brown color on both sides. Then set it aside.

Step 3

In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add ginger garlic paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the tomato puree and cook it down for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add red chili powder, salt, dried fenugreek, and almonds. Stir everything together and let it cook for 3-4 minutes so the flavors come together.

Step 6

Pour in the cream and mix it well, creating that rich, creamy sauce.

Step 7

Finally, add the cooked chicken back into the sauce and let it simmer for a minute or two so it soaks up all that delicious flavor.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, comforting butter chicken!
