Also known in India as Murgh Makhani, chicken thighs seasoned with fragrant spices get simmered in a creamy, buttery sauce until tender. Typically made with yogurt, this version uses blended cashews for added flavor and creaminess!

Steps:
- Place the cashews in a small heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and let soak 30 minutes, then drain.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon garam masala and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and brown 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot. Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pot, until the spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion-tomato mixture to a blender (reserve the pot). Add the soaked cashews and 1 1/4 cups water and puree until smooth. Pour the sauce into the reserved pot.
- Return the chicken and any juices from the plate to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, butter, sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Thin the curry with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.
CHEAT'S BUTTER CHICKEN
I found this recipe in an Australian supermarket magazine Recipes+. I very rarely cook with tinned soup, but this is good. I went to buy the soup and came away with the low salt one-a good choice as it turns out. The tandoori paste has enough salt in it for the dish. Note that Aus tablespoons are 4 teaspoons

Steps:
- Rub the lemon juice and chilli powder or paprika into the chicken with a pinch of salt, then chill for 1 hr. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl, taste for seasoning, then add the chilled chicken. Mix well and chill for another 2 hrs.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers, reserving any leftover marinade. Grill over a hot barbecue for 5 mins, turning occasionally and basting with the melted butter or ghee. Alternatively, cook under a hot grill for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally. Don't worry if the chicken is a little under cooked, as it will finish cooking in the sauce. Remove the skewers to a board.
- To make the sauce, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan and drop in a few cumin seeds. When they start sizzling, tip in the rest of the seeds. Swirl the pan, reduce the heat and add the green chillies. Stir once or twice until the skins of the chillies have blistered, then add the butter or ghee. Turn the heat up to high and continue to cook until all the butter or ghee has melted. Tip in the onions and fry for 10 mins until the onions are light brown and soft. If you prefer a smooth sauce, tip the mixture into a blender and blitz until smooth. Alternatively, scrape into a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper and heat the remaining oil. Drop in the crushed cardamom pods. When they have swelled and lightened in colour, reduce the heat, add the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds, stirring continuously until you can no longer smell raw garlic and ginger. Return the cooked onion mixture to the pan and mix well. Add the turmeric and half the fenugreek leaves. Season with salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed - if you like, you can add some chilli powder. Pour in the diluted passata, mix well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, for around 20 mins. Oil will eventually rise to the surface when the sauce is cooked.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the skewers and chop into bite-sized pieces. Add these to the sauce along with any resting juices. Tip about 125ml warm water into the bowl with the reserved marinade, swirl to loosen, then stir into the sauce. Bring the sauce to the boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Sprinkle over with garam masala and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. If you like, add a splash of boiling water to loosen the sauce, then taste for seasoning. Pour in half the cream and mix well.
- Transfer the butter chicken to a serving bowl, drizzle over the remaining cream, sprinkle with the remaining fenugreek leaves and garnish with the fresh coriander leaves.
