- In the same pan, heat the other 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté onions, ginger, and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Add garam masala, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, and chili powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste, tomato puree, and brown sugar. Add ½ cup of water at a time if sauce becomes too thick. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 25 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken pieces back and add another ½ cup of water and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in yogurt and cilantro.
