Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, marinade ginger, marinade garlic, turmeric powder, marinade garam masala, chili powder, and marinade salt in a bowl.
Nota bucătarului: Marinating the chicken helps tenderize it and infuse flavor.
2
Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Aproximativ 20 min.
3
Melt the butter in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
4
Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 6 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't rush this step, as the onion forms the base of the sauce.
5
Stir in the sauce ginger and sauce garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Add the crushed tomatoes, water, sauce garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and sugar.
7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
While the sauce simmers, cook the marinated chicken.
9
In a separate pan, cook the marinated chicken pieces over medium-high heat until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
10
Pour the heavy cream into the tomato sauce and stir until well combined.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The cream adds richness and balances the acidity of the tomatoes.
11
Add the cooked chicken to the sauce.
12
Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the sauce flavors.
Aproximativ 5 min.
13
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
Nota bucătarului: Pairs well with basmati rice or naan bread.
