Ingredients
Method
Marinating the Chicken
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with salt, garlic powder, sweet paprika, curry powder, and Greek yogurt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Preparing the Sauce Base
- Use the same skillet, adding butter. Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until they turn translucent.
Building the Sauce
- Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat.
Adding Cream and Seasoning
- Add heavy cream, cayenne pepper (if using), garam masala, and an additional curry powder. Let it cook on low for about 10 minutes.
Finishing Touch
- Just before serving, stir in an additional tablespoon of butter for that extra richness.
Serving
- Ladle the butter chicken over rice or with naan, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
