Ingredients
Instructions
Saute the Onions, Ginger + Garlic
Heat oil over medium heat and cook onions with 1 tsp salt until very soft and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes (don't rush this step, it's important for the flavour).
Add garlic, ginger and chillies and cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the Spices
Stir in garam masala, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon and cardamom pods and cook a minute more.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add tomato puree, almond butter and 1/2 cup of the water water plus remaining 1 tsp salt; cook until oil starts to bubble up and shimmer on top.
Cook the Chicken
Stir in chicken; cook, covered, about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Stir frequently and add a little more water if needed to prevent scorching. Note that the chicken will release moisture as it cooks so don't add more unless it really needs it.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the yogurt and cream. Simmer on low heat for a few minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and add more salt and/or garam masala if needed. Top with cilantro.
