This dish is made with tender chicken pieces simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce and seasoned with a blend of spices that include garam masala, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The sauce is then finished with a generous amount of butter and cream, giving it its signature rich and creamy flavor. Serve it over a bed of basmati rice or with freshly baked naan bread for a complete meal.
