3. Heat up oil and butter in a pan. Stir in onions and giger/garlic paste for about 3 minutes. Bring the chicken out and pour in the pan (make sure you don't pour in the liquid from the mixture just carefully take out the chicken because you will need the liquid later)
4. Stir the chicken until it is cooked and the liquid is almost dry.
5. Add the blended tomatoes, tomatoes paste, the liquid from the chicken marinade, chicken stock, fenugreek seeds or powder, 2 TBS ketchup, cayenne pepper, salt for taste and sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Melt Butter in another pan. Add whole garam masala; gloves, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, green and black cardamon seeds. When they crackle pour it into the chicken sauce. Add cream and stir for like 5 minutes and it is ready to be served.
NOTE: The amount of ingredients required depends on how many people you are preparing this dish for and how spicy you like your food, i don't like too much spices so i used 1tbs of all the ingredients, the seeds about 2 each and remember to take them out before you serve the food, a good amount of butter, a cup of yogurt and half a cup of cream.
