Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix well all the ingredients for the marinade and thoroughly rub the mixture into the chicken pieces
Let the marinated pieces stand for a few hours. For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
Heat 2 tsp of butter in a pan. Put the marinated chicken in the pan and cook on a low flame, for about half an hour. See that the chicken doesn’t get charred, but is completely cooked.
Next, heat 2 tsp of butter in another pan. Add cumin, coriander, red chili and black pepper powder to the butter and stir fry the mixture for a few seconds, on a low flame. You can also add 2 tsp of cashew nut paste.
Add chopped tomatoes, sugar and salt to the mixture and cook (uncovered), on a medium flame, for 5-7 minutes (or till the tomato pieces break and thicken to form a puree).
Carefully beat 2 tbsp of cream in a bowl. Now add it to the tomato puree and mix well.
Lower the flame and add the cooked chicken, salt, chopped ginger and green chilies to the gravy and mix well.
Cook the mixture for another 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, pour the simmering mixture onto a ceramic bowl and add a teaspoonful of butter on top.
Garnish the chicken with freshly cut coriander leaves and some cream. Serve hot, with steamed rice, roti, naan or paranthas, as desired.
