## Ingredients

- 1 bowl all purpose flour
- 1 tsp yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 bowl chicken breast
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp Kashmiri chili
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 bowl red onions
- 1 bowl tomatoes
- 1 bowl fresh ginger
- 1 bowl garlic
- 1 bowl coriander
- 1 bowl cashew nuts
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp fenugreek

## Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients: roughly chop tomatoes, red onions, and coriander; thinly slice garlic; pound and grind ginger and garlic to a paste.
2. Marinate the chicken breast with ginger-garlic paste, salt, yogurt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, garam masala, Kashmiri chili, lemon juice, and oil.
3. Make the naan dough: in a bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, sugar, yogurt, oil, and warm water. Mix to combine, then work the gluten until strong.
4. Shape the dough into a ball and cover with a damp towel to let it rise.
5. Heat oil in a pan, add the marinated chicken, and fry until charred. Flip and keep frying until golden brown. Set aside.
6. In a separate pan, melt butter and oil. Add onions and sauté until softened; then, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté.
7. Add tomatoes and sauté, then add cumin, coriander, garam masala, salt, and Kashmiri chili. Cook to a paste.
8. Stir in cashew nuts, then add water and simmer until the sauce thickens. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down, flour the surface, and portion the dough into balls. Cover and let rest.
9. Blend the sauce until smooth and silky.
10. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and let it finish cooking. Meanwhile, roll out and stretch the naan dough.
11. Cook the naan in a hot, dry pan until risen. Flip it directly over the flames to char and smoke.
12. Melt butter and mix it with garlic and coriander. Brush over the cooked naan.
13. Once the chicken is almost done, add heavy cream, mix, and finish with more butter and fenugreek.
14. Serve the butter chicken with the garlic naan.
