Creating Quick & Easy Homemade Butter Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, and ginger-garlic paste. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it turns golden brown. This should take about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion. Sauté until onions are translucent and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).

4. Add Tomato Puree: Stir in the tomato puree and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Blend in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

6. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat well with the creamy sauce. Season with salt to taste.

7. Simmer: Allow everything to simmer together for another 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors deepen.

8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top before serving.

9. Serve: Your Quick & Easy Homemade Butter Chicken is now ready to enjoy!
