Chicken Tikka Masala

Directions
- 1Marinate the chicken with all the marinade ingredients and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

- 3In the same pan, heat the oil and sauté the onions, ginger garlic paste, and green chillies until soft and fragrant.
- 4Add the tomato purée and chicken tikka masala, then cook until the masala deepens in colour and thickens.
- 5Blend the sauce until smooth for that restaurant-style texture.
- 6Return the sauce to the pan, add the butter/ghee, and stir in the chicken. Coat well and simmer, adding a splash of water if needed.
- 7Finish with the heavy cream and let it gently simmer until silky and rich. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
