Steps to make Butter chicken/chicken tikka masala:

1. To prepare hung curd, hang 3 cups of plain yogurt in a muslin cloth for 4-5hours. The creamy curd left is your hung curd for marinade.
2. Wash and cut the chicken in bite size pieces. Add all the marinade ingredients except oil and mix well. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight or for minimum 5 hours.
3. Saute the marinated chicken in 2 tbsp oil until chicken is 3/4th cooked. Drain out on a kitchen towel and keep it covered until used to prevent drying.
4. For the sauce, blanche the tomatoes in boiling water for 5-7minutes until the skin starts peeling off. Put them in an ice bath to cool. Peel the skin of the tomatoes and blend in a mixer. Seive through a colander to remove seeds. Keep this tomato puree aside.
5. In a heavy bottomed pan, add 2 tbsp butter or ghee and bayleaf, cardamom, clove, and cinnamon. Saute for 30 seconds and add the ginger garlic paste. Saute again for 30 seconds or until the raw smell goes. Don't overcook or burn. Add the seived tomato puree. Add salt and coriander powder and let it cook until the tomatoes leave oil on the sides. The tomatoes splatter a lot initially so be careful. Use a cover and cook on medium flame to prevent splattering.
6. Once the puree is reduced and you see oil on the sides, swtich off the flame. Add the chicken, heavy cream, garam masala and dried fenugreek leaves. Add pepper to taste and check salt. If you dont have the fenugreek leaves, use a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves. Switching off is to prevent the heavy cream from curdling. Once everything is added, switch on the flame.
7. Cook on low heat for 5minutes or just until the chicken is fully cooked. Dont overcook or the cream will release fat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice, chapati or naan with onion slices and lemon on sides…enjoy!!!!

The first dish on our list, the butter chicken is actually an Indian dish that came from the northern parts of the country. The spices for marinating and for the sauce are almost the same. The marinade takes half the spice the sauce does.; To be efficient, put the sauce ingredients in the Instant Pot, and the raw chicken in a bowl. As you add turmeric to the marinade, add twice that amount of turmeric to the onion and tomato sauce as well. Butter chicken is also a tad bit sweeter (because of either sugar or sauteed onions) and milder concerning spices than chicken tikka masala.
