Instructions

Marinate chicken in Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt for at least one hour.
Sauté chopped onions in oil and butter until translucent; add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, smoked paprika, and chili powder into the onion mixture. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Add tomato paste followed by crushed tomatoes. Let this simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
Pour in coconut milk along with sugar if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer together for another 10 minutes.
Grill or pan-fry marinated chicken until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Chop into bite-sized pieces before stirring into the sauce.
Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
