Instructions

Cut the Tandoori chicken (click for recipe) into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat the butter in a pan over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until aromatic. Then, add the tomato paste and chili powder, stirring to mix well for about 30 seconds.
Add the Tandoori chicken and garam masala to the pan, stir, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Cover the pan with its lid.
Add the ketchup, sugar, salt, and water, and simmer for another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the heavy whipping cream or yogurt, stirring to combine well with all the ingredients in the pan. Transfer the Chicken Tikka Masala to a serving platter and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
