Then add yogurt and ginger garlic paste into the bowl. Then add salt, red chilies powder, garam masala powder and white cumin seeds powder into the bowl. Then add lemon juice into the bowl. Now mix them all and coat the chicken pieces evenly and properly with the batter. Put this for marination for about 1 to 2 hrs. by closing the bowl with any lid. Chicken will be marinated to be used later. Now take a pan and put it on medium to high flame. Once it’s hot pour oil into it to heat up. Once the oil is hot put a little butter into it and let it melt. Then add the marinated chicken into the pan one by one and fry them a little till all the chicken pieces change color. Do it from both sides. Once the chicken pieces are fried remove the pan from the stove and put it aside to use later. Now put another pot on the same stove and pour in the oil to heat it up. Once oil is hot put the remaining butter into the pot and let it melt. After a while add green cardamom, black cardamom, cloves and Jawatri into the pot and mix to cook. Now add bay leaves and mix to cook. Then after a while add sliced onions into the pot and mix to cook. When the onions change color a little add chopped tomatoes whole garlic and whole ginger cut into pieces into the pot and mix to cook. Now after a while of cooking add cashews into the pot and mix to cook. Now after cooking for a while add salt, coriander powder and Kashmiri red chilies powder into the pot and mix to cook. Then add stems of the coriander leaves and green chilies into the pot and mix to cook. Now add water into the pot and mix to cook. Now close the lid so that everything in the pot can get tender in steam. Once this is done open the lid after 10 mins and let it cool down a little. Then add everything into the grinder and grind it into a paste form. Now strain the grinded paste from a strainer so nice and smooth paste is out. Now put a pot on medium to high flame and add the remaining butter into it and let it melt. Now once it is melted pour the paste you made back into the pot and let it cook. Let it simmer and let the bubbles form which will show that it is cooking well. Now add all the chicken pieces one by one into this gravy as shown and mix to cook. Now close the lid for 10 mins on low to medium flame for chicken pieces to cook in the gravy. Then open the lid and add fenugreek leaves into the pot and mix to cook. Then add full cream into the pot and mix to cook. Close the lid for 2 mins to cook. Now open the lid and stir to mix. Your creamy and delicious butter chicken is ready.
