Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into thin slices and put them in a bowl.
- Add the marinade ingredients (salt, lemon juice, ginger garlic green chilli paste, curd, turmeric, 2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder, garam masala, 1 tsp oil) and mix well. Marinate for 1-2 hours, or cook straight away.
- Optionally thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Heat a pan over high heat until moderately hot, add the oil and let it heat.
- Sear the chicken 2-3 minutes per side; it does not need to be fully cooked.

- Chop the onions, garlic, ginger and green chilli finely with a chopper.
- Heat a deep pan or kadhai over high flame, add the butter and 1 tsp oil.
- Add cumin seeds, cinnamon, green cardamom and the chopped onion mixture. Stir and cook over high flame until golden brown.
- Lower the flame, add turmeric, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder and a splash of water, stir and cook briefly.
- Add the tomato puree and salt, stir, and cook over medium-high flame for 10-12 minutes until the gravy stops sticking to the pan.
- Add hot water to get a semi-thick consistency.
- Add the chicken, stir, adjust the salt, add a pinch of sugar, and cook over medium-low flame for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Stir in the fresh cream, 2 tbsp butter, roasted kasuri methi powder, garam masala and chopped coriander.
