  • 1 packet JEYA Spices Butter Chicken Paste (contains onion, ginger, garlic & spices)
  • 3 medium tomatoes, blended, or 1 cup tomato purée

  • ¼ cup fresh cream
  • 2 tbsp yoghurt
  • Salt: to taste
  • Sugar or honey (optional) to balance acidity
  • Water As needed

INSTRUCTIONS

  2. Add JEYA Spices Butter Chicken Fresh Paste and sauté for 4–5 minutes until fragrant and oil begins to separate.
  3. Add tomato purée and cook for 6–8 minutes until thick and glossy.
  4. Add chicken and salt. Stir well to coat.
  5. Add ½ cup water, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until chiucken is cooked.
