Steps

  1. 1

    First, wash the chicken thoroughly.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the chicken with yogurt, 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste, food coloring, garam masala, salt, and a little cornmeal. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat half the butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or pan.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped onions and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the cashews, almonds, cardamom, and cinnamon stick. Cook well, then add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and tomatoes. Cook thoroughly, then add 1 cup water (about 240 ml), cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

  5. 5

    In another pan, heat the remaining butter and oil. Add the marinated chicken, cover, and cook on medium heat until the water evaporates.

  6. 6

    Once the water has evaporated, increase the heat and cook until the chicken turns golden brown. Turn off the heat.

  7. 7

    Transfer the cooked onion and spice mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve.

  8. 8

    Heat a pan and add the blended spice mixture. Cook well, then add the fried chicken and mix thoroughly. Add a little water and cook until everything is well combined.

  9. 9

    Add the dried fenugreek leaves and heavy cream. Mix well, turn off the heat, and garnish with cilantro leaves.

  10. 10
