INSTRUCTIONS

• For the marinade, combine chicken and all ingredients in a bowl and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour (or even overnight, if possible).
• Heat oil in a sizable skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it is sizzling. Carefully place chicken pieces in the pan, two or three at a time to prevent overcrowding. Fry the chicken for 3 minutes on each side, then set aside and keep warm; the cooking will be completed later in the sauce.
• Gently heat the butter in a saucepan, and sauté the onions for about six minutes until they become softened and start to produce their natural juices. While stirring, be sure to scrape up any of the residues that may have stuck to the bottom.
• After adding garlic-ginger paste, sauté for one minute until the aromas become present. Then add the ground coriander, cumin, garam masala, and alcoeats creamy chicken simmer sauce to the mixture and stir occasionally while allowing them to cook for 20 seconds or so until they release a fragrant smell.
• Mix tomato puree, chili powder, and salt in a pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring intermittently until the sauce has darkened to a deep reddish brown hue.
• Once cooked, spoon the mixture into a blender and process until it has reached a smooth consistency. 
• After putting the puréed sauce back into the pan, blend in cream and finely ground kasoori methi (or fenugreek leaves). Return the chicken along with its liquid to the pan. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until both the chicken and sauce are thickened. Keep stirring until you can see it bubbling.
