Method
- Take chicken in a mixing bowl, add turmeric powder, mustard oil, yogurt, salt, red chilli powder and coriander powder and mix well. Set aside and marinate for 1 hour.
- To prepare the gravy, heat 1 tbsp butter in a deep non-stick pan till it melts. Add tomatoes, ginger, garlic, salt and seeds of 6 green cardamoms. Cook on high heat till tomatoes turn pulpy. Switch off heat. Set aside to cool down.
- Heat oil in a non-stick grill pan, add marinated chicken pieces, a few pieces at a time, and grill on high heat, turning chicken pieces occasionally, till golden brown and grill marks appear on both the sides. Remove and set aside in a bowl.
- Transfer cooked tomato mixture into a blender jar and blend to a fine paste.
- Pass the blended mixture through a sieve into another bowl by pressing with a spatula to get a smooth gravy.
- To add tandoori effect, heat charcoal pieces on direct flame till they are red hot, place them in a stainless steel bowl kept over the chicken pieces, drizzle 1 tbsp ghee over them and cover immediately and let the chicken absorb the smoky flavour.
- Heat remaining ghee and remaining butter in another non-stick pan, add black cardamom, mace and a pinch of green cardamoms and sauté till fragrant.
- Add red chilli powder and blended gravy and mix well. Add salt, green cardamom powder, garam masala and mix well. Add ¼ cup water, mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken and mix, cover and cook, on medium heat, for 10-15 minutes or till chicken is cooked completely.
- Add cream, sugar, remaining green cardamom powder, ¼ tsp roasted and powdered kasuri methi, and mix well. Cook for a minute and switch off heat.
- Transfer butter chicken into a serving bowl, drizzle a little cream and sprinkle a little dried fenugreek leaf powder and serve hot.
