Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and spices in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  3. In a separate pot, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions until golden, then add minced garlic and ginger.
  4. Add cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika to the onion mixture and toast for 30 seconds. Then mix in tomato paste and crushed tomatoes.
  5. Reduce the heat and stir in heavy cream or coconut milk, simmering gently to meld the flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Combine the grilled chicken with the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, then garnish with lemon juice and cilantro.
