340g chopped tomatoes

100g tomato paste

2 cups cream

salt & pepper

Coriander for garnishing

Method

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and then add batches of the chicken stirring so each side is browned. They do not need to be fully cooked all the way through. Set aside when done.

Melt another 2 tbsp butter in the pan over medium heat, add the onion and cook until it starts to soften and go translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, garam masala, ginger, chilli powder, cumin, and cayenne and stir to combine. Cook for about 45 seconds before adding the tomatoes and tomato paste.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for five minutes before adding the cream. Bring the mixture back to a simmer on a low heat, add the browned chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and season with salt and pepper.

When ready, garnish with chopped coriander and serve with naan or cooked basmati rice
