A rich, buttery chicken masala that’s bursting with warm spices, fresh tomatoes and a silky cream finish. Perfect for a cosy family dinner.
Gather and prep all the fresh ingredients, cutting the chicken into bite‑size pieces, dicing the onions and tomatoes, and measuring the spices.
Heat a splash of oil and a knob of butter in a pan, then add the onions, cooking until they turn golden and fragrant.
Stir in the ginger‑garlic paste, tomatoes, and spices, letting everything mingle until the tomatoes soften and the oil separates.
Add the chicken pieces, coating them in the fragrant sauce, then let them cook gently until they’re just tender.
Swirl in the cream for a silky finish, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top, and give a final gentle stir before serving.
