- Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning sides once or until the chicken is cooked through. Broil for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to get that charred look. You can also fry it on the stove top instead of cooking in the oven.

- When the spices become fragrant, add ginger garlic green chilli paste. Saute until fragrant.
- Add tomato puree. Mix well with the seasoned butter. Cover and let it cook on medium heat until it leaves fat. Stir in between to prevent any sticking at the bottom of the pan. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Now add salt to season, sugar to balance the tartness of the tomatoes, kasuri methi, red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, garam masala and tandoori masala. Saute it on medium heat for another minute.
- Add cashewnut paste. Saute it on medium heat for another 1 to 2 minutes until it leaves fat at the sides of the wok.
- Add 3/4 to 1 cup water (adjust as per desired consistency, add about 1/2 cup water for very thick sauce). Mix well and bring it to a boil. Check for seasonings and adjust now.
