  6. Stir in tomato puree and let simmer for a few minutes.
  7. Add garam masala and red chili powder, mix well.

  9. Serve hot, garnished with cream or crushed cashews alongside naan or rice.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate longer. Use freshly toasted spices for enhanced aroma and taste. Consider using coconut milk for a unique twist.
