Step 1
Mix together the yogurt, garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, white pepper, and a pinch of saffron. Add salt to taste. Coat the chicken in this mixture and pop it in the fridge to marinate for 10 to 12 hours—this really helps the flavors soak in. When you're ready to cook, heat some oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 20 to 30 seconds until you can smell their aroma. Add the chicken pieces, letting them brown nicely in the oil. Pour off any leftover marinade from the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook through, which should take around 15 minutes. Finally, stir in the cream and warm everything up before serving. Enjoy!
