Instructions

Mix the chicken, bread crumbs, yogurt, cilantro, ginger, garam masala, cumin, chili powder, onion, egg and garlic in a large bowl until just combined. Roll into 9 balls about 1½ inches across.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs about 6 minutes total, turning once, until golden and charred. Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the garam masala, chili powder, cumin, coriander, cardamom and turmeric. Stir for about 30 seconds until toasted.
Stir in the tomato purée and reduce the heat to low. Whisk the cream and yogurt together, then stir into the sauce and season with salt to taste.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce is well blended and the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve over steamed basmati rice or with garlic naan, garnished with more cilantro.
