Steps

  1. Marinate the chicken in the yogurt, half the garam masala, and half the ginger-garlic paste for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Broil or grill the chicken on a rack for 10–12 minutes until charred at the edges.

  3. Fry the onion in ghee until golden, then add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and the ground spices for a minute.

  4. Add the tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes until the oil separates, then blend smooth if you want a silky sauce.

  5. Stir in the cream and chicken, simmer 5 minutes, and finish with the rest of the garam masala.
