Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s get started!

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, ghee or oil, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
4. While the chicken is baking, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re lightly browned and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).
5. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
6. Add the tomato, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is soft and the spices are fragrant.
7. Add the butter, heavy cream, and tomato puree. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
8. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
10. Garnish with cilantro and serve with basmati rice or naan bread.

Serving Suggestions & Variations:
Serve with a side of cilantro chutney, raita (a yogurt-based side dish), or pickles. You can also add some crispy onions or toasted almonds on top for extra texture and flavor.
