Marinate the chicken

  2. Add the chicken and mix everything well. Keep it aside for a few minutes.

Prepare the Base Gravy

  1. Take the Combi pan. Add butter, whole spices (clove, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom).
  2. Add ginger-garlic paste, onion paste, tomato paste, lemon juice, and all powdered spices. Mix well so there are no lumps. Add 200 ml¾ cup + 2 tbsp of water & mix well.

Final step

  1. When are left, open the door. Add the cooked chicken into the Combi pan with gravy, mix it well. Sprinkle Kasuri methi on top.
  2. Our step Stir the fresh cream into the gravy before you close the door. Added this late, it's less likely to split.
  3. Close the door and let it finish cooking.

    Our tip Before serving, cut into the thickest piece near the bone: the juices should run clear with no pink, or it should read 75°C165°F.

Optional- Smoky Tandoor Flavor

  1. Heat a piece of coal on the gas until red hot. Place it in a small bowl inside the butter chicken.

    Our tip Use natural lumpwood charcoal for this, not house coal or instant-light briquettes, which give off fumes you don't want sealed in with the food.

  2. Pour a little ghee on the coal. Cover the dish for to get a smoky tandoor flavor. Serve hot with choice of your bread.
