Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sauté Onions and Ginger-Garlic Paste

Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan. Add 2 chopped onions and 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown and the raw taste of ginger-garlic goes away. Add salt as per taste to help onions cook faster and extract flavors.

Step 2: Add Spices

Once onions are almost brown, add 2 sprigs of dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) and 1 tbsp dried red chilli paste. Cook for a few seconds. Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp coriander seeds powder, and 1 tsp cumin seeds powder. Cook for a few more seconds to remove the rawness of the masalas.

Step 3: Cook Tomatoes

Add 2 chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook the tomatoes until they completely soften and dissolve into the gravy. You can mash them with a spatula to achieve a smoother consistency.

Step 4: Simmer Gravy

Add water as required to the mixture. Let it simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomato pieces are nicely dissolved with the gravy.

Step 5: Enhance Gravy Texture

Add 1/2 cup tomato purée for a smoother texture and body. Mix well. Add 1 tsp honey to cut the sour taste of the tomatoes.

Step 6: Add Cashew Paste

To make the gravy richer, add 2-3 tbsp cashew paste. Cook for a few minutes until the chunky bits of tomatoes have disappeared and the gravy is thick and rich.

Step 7: Add Capsicum, Tomatoes, and Chicken Tikka

Add 1/4 cup cubed capsicum and tomatoes (if desired, these were likely cooked with the tikka). Add 8-10 chopped chicken tikkas (pre-cooked). Add the veggies that were cooked along with the chicken tikka.

Step 8: Adjust Consistency and Seasoning

Add water as required to achieve your desired consistency (thicker for naan, slightly liquid for rice/pulao). Let it come to a boil. Add salt as per taste.

Step 9: Finish with Cream and Coriander

Add 2-3 tbsp fresh cream to increase richness. Blend it through. Add 2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 10: Final Touch

Add 1 tbsp butter for a rich flavor when the dish is absolutely ready. Blend it through.
