Indulge in the rich flavors of Keto Indian Butter Chicken, a low-carb twist on a classic Indian favorite, featuring tender chicken in a creamy, aromatic sauce.
Blend the chicken, heavy cream, garam masala, turmeric, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the chicken is well-coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
In a pan, melt ghee and butter.
Add the ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, dried chili, garam masala, and kasuri methi. Cook on low heat until it's fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes and toasted cashews. Cook until the tomatoes become tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Add extra water or stock if required.
Transfer the contents to a blender and puree until smooth.
Using a mesh strainer, filter the sauce to remove solids, then pour the smooth gravy back into the pan.
Add bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, allowing it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Integrate the marinated chicken into the sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve while warm, topped with freshly chopped cilantro.
