- Saute the marinated chicken in 2 tbsp oil until chicken is 3/4th cooked. Drain out on a kitchen towel and keep it covered until used to prevent drying.
- For the sauce, blanche the tomatoes in boiling water for 5-7minutes until the skin starts peeling off. Put them in an ice bath to cool. Peel the skin of the tomatoes and blend in a mixer. Seive through a colander to remove seeds. Keep this tomato puree aside.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add 2 tbsp butter or ghee and bayleaf, cardamom, clove, and cinnamon. Saute for 30 seconds and add the ginger garlic paste.

The tomatoes splatter a lot initially so be careful. Use a cover and cook on medium flame to prevent splattering.
- Once the puree is reduced and you see oil on the sides, swtich off the flame. Add the chicken, heavy cream, garam masala and dried fenugreek leaves. Add pepper to taste and check salt. If you dont have the fenugreek leaves, use a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves. Switching off is to prevent the heavy cream from curdling. Once everything is added, switch on the flame.
- Cook on low heat for 5minutes or just until the chicken is fully cooked. Dont overcook or the cream will release fat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice, chapati or naan with onion slices and lemon on sides…enjoy!!!!
