• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil
• 2 tsp garam masala powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 2 tbsp butter
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, ghee or oil, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
3. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.
5. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
6. While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato puree and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
8. Remove the chicken from the oven and add it to the sauce. Toss the chicken in the sauce until well coated.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve over basmati rice or with naan!
