Steps

1 hr 30 minutes

1

In a bowl, combine chicken all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade; let marinate for an hour (or overnight if time allows).
2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When sizzling add chicken pieces in batches of two or three, making sure not to crowd the pan. Fry until brown for only 3 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
3

Melt the butter in the same pan. Fry the onions until soft while scraping up any browned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add garam masala, cumin, turmeric and coriander. Fry for about 20 seconds until fragrant, while stirring occasionally.
4

Pour in the tomato puree, chili powders and salt. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens and becomes a deep brown red colour.
5

Stir the cream and sugar through the sauce. Add the chicken and its juices back into the pan and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and bubbling. Pour in the water to thin out the sauce, if needed. Add kasuri methi, mix well and switch off the flame.
6

Meanwhile activate charcoal on gas flame and take a small bowl with 1 tsp ghee and immediately place the burning charcoal. Place the bowl immediately in the cooked chicken tikka masala and cover vey well. Keep for 30 minutes till the bbq flavours are instilled in the curry.
