Directions

1Cut the chicken breast or thighs into bite-sized pieces.
2In a bowl, add the chicken pieces.
3Add garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric, paprika, curry powder, salt, and minced garlic to the chicken.
4Add plain yogurt and olive oil to the chicken mixture.
5Stir until the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
6Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate the chicken.
7Heat a stainless steel pan over medium heat.
8Add a knob of butter and let it melt in the pan.
9Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. It doesn’t have to be fully cooked yet.
10Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside.
11In the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter.
12Add chopped onions, red bell pepper, tomato, and garlic to the pan.
13Sauté the chopped vegetables until soft and golden.
14Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a blender.
15Add tomato passata to the blender.
16Blend the mixture until smooth, creating the sauce.
17Pour the blended sauce back into the pan.
18Add heavy cream to the sauce and stir well.
19Add garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric, paprika, curry powder, and salt to the sauce and stir until well combined.
20Add the cooked chicken back into the pan with the sauce.
21Stir everything well and add salt to taste.
22Simmer on low heat for another 5–10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
23Add a final tablespoon of butter on top for extra richness.
24Serve hot with warm naan or basmati rice. Optionally garnish with a swirl of cream or fresh herbs.
