First the onion is cooked in oil until soft, then ginger garlic paste and boneless chicken are added and cooked until the chicken changes colour. Tomato paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt are added and cooked well so the masala becomes smooth and rich. Then yoghurt is mixed in to give the gravy its creamy body, followed by crushed black pepper, crushed cumin seeds and fenugreek leaves for aroma and taste. Fresh cream is added at the end for the signature silky reshmi finish, and fresh chopped coriander leaves are sprinkled on top before serving. Pro tips for the best creamy chicken handi Always add fresh cream on low flame and do not boil the handi hard after adding cream, or the gravy can lose its smooth texture. Cook the tomato paste and masala well until the oil starts to shine, because well cooked masala is the secret of restaurant style taste. Use fresh yoghurt and whisk it well before adding, so the gravy stays smooth and does not split. If the gravy feels too thick, add a little warm milk or water and mix gently. For extra flavour, rest the handi for five minutes before serving so the chicken absorbs the creamy masala.

It also goes very well with jeera rice, fresh salad and raita for a complete desi dinner.
