Ingredients
Instructions
-
Marinate the chickenIn a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon garam masala, paprika, turmeric, and yogurt. Mix well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
-
Prepare the butter sauceMelt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Stir in remaining tablespoon of garam masala.
-
Cook the chickenAdd the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes. Pour in tomato sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Finish the sauceReduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The sauce should be rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
-
Warm the tortillasHeat tortillas according to package directions or warm them directly over a gas flame for about 10 seconds per side. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil.
-
Assemble the tacosPlace a spoonful of butter chicken mixture in the center of each warm tortilla. Top with diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while still warm.
