Method:
Step 1- Preparation of marinade
The chicken is going to be marinated in two stages.
1. Place a bowl, add chicken and lemon juice, garlic & ginger powder and sprinkle some salt, and give it a good mix. Rest it to minimum 10 minutes.
2. Again, place a bowl and add oil, Kashmiri chili powder which will give fine color and mild chili taste. Add yogurt and salt as per your taste. Mix all together. Then, squeeze the chicken to remove access water from it then add into the yogurt mix. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare gravy paste.
Step 2 – Gravy paste
Heat the pan, add water, oil, and butter. Then, add diced tomatoes, onions, garlic cloves, ginger sliced, cashew nut, green chili, and the whole spices along with Kashmiri chili powder, stir it quickly until it gets soft and pulpy. Bring it to boil with covering the lid. Turn off the flame, let it cool for some time. After that, remove all the whole spices from it and blend it in a jar to smooth puree. Strain and keep aside.
Note- Instead of whole spices you can use powdered Garam Masala - 1 tsp. Step 3- Grill the chicken
In a hot pan add marinated chicken, cook until it is cooked. Take it out to another dish, keep aside.
Step 4 – Preparation of Gravy
Place another pan or wok, add butter or oil in it. Add ginger grated and 1 tsp coriander powder, stir it. Pour blended puree in it and mix well. Add Kashmiri chili powder if required, add dry fenugreek leaves, fresh cream and cook until the gravy starts releasing the oil on the surface. If you like a little bit of a sweet taste then, you can add 1 tsp of sugar otherwise leave this step. I didn’t put it on because I don’t like the sweet taste. Finally, add grilled chicken to it, sauté it and bring it to boil once. You can add water here for the desired consistency of gravy. Turn off the flame, finish it with fresh cream and serve hot.
It can be paired with Roti/ Rice or Bread.
My observation - Butter chicken tastes better the next day after preparation.
Storage – You can store it in the fridge.
