Directions

  1. 1Mix lemon juice, Kashmiri chili powder and salt with the chicken. Let it marinate for about 20 minutes.
  2. 2Prepare the second marinade using Greek yogurt, avocado oil, ground fenugreek, turmeric, and a ginger-garlic paste. Add this marinade to the chicken and mix well.
  3. 3Marinate the chicken for at least a couple of hours; overnight is recommended for best results.
  4. 4For the Naan, combine active dry yeast, a pinch of sugar, warm water and mix; let stand for 10 minutes.
  5. 5Add an egg, avocado oil, yogurt and salt to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  6. 6In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt, then make a well in the center.
  7. 7Pour the wet ingredients into the well and incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients using a whisk.
  8. 8Knead the dough until smooth and slightly sticky, then let it rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  9. 9Roll the dough into a log, divide it into 10 pieces, and shape them into small balls.
  10. 10Heat a lightly oiled pan over high heat. Cook the naan for 30 seconds on each side, brushing with garlic butter and cilantro once cooked.
  11. 11Once the chicken is done marinating, broil it on high heat until lightly charred.
  12. 12In a pan, simmer the tomato puree until it deepens in color and flavor. Add cashews, more Kashmiri chili powder and sugar.
  13. 13Add water and bring to a simmer. Blend the mixture on high for 1 minute.
  14. 14Add more garam masala, toasted fenugreek seeds, and more butter until melted. Add cream and mix well.
  15. 15Add the broiled chicken to the sauce and warm it for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
