Step-by-Step Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with salt, garlic powder, sweet paprika, curry powder, and Greek yogurt. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, then remove from skillet.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and diced onion; sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Build the Sauce: Pour in the tomato sauce and sprinkle sugar. Stir well and simmer for about 2-3 minutes, then mix in the cooked chicken.
- Add the Cream: Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring to create a smooth sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.
- Season the Sauce: Add cayenne pepper, garam masala, and black pepper. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Finish with Butter: Stir in any remaining butter until melted and fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with naan and rice to soak up the sauce.
