Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken with yogurt, garam masala, cumin, and coriander. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Add tomato purée: Pour in the tomato purée and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Incorporate cream: Stir in the heavy cream and salt. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Garnish and serve: Top with fresh cilantro and enjoy with rice or naan for a complete meal.
Notes
Best served with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan to soak up the delicious sauce. You can add roasted vegetables or a cucumber salad to balance flavors.
