Instructions

to make butter chicken filling:

  • Cut the chicken into small cubes. Marinate it with the above listed ingredients. Shallow fry it till cooked well and charred on the outside.
  • In a pan, heat the butter. Add the chopped onions to it and sauté till it turns brown. Add in the ginger garlic paste. Stir and cook for a minute.
  • Next put the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, and sugar. Cook for a minute on low heat.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes till the raw smell goes. Four 1/4 cup or water. cooK again till water dries
  • Add in the cooked chicken, mix well. Pour 1/4 cup of water again.
  • Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes. By now the water will have turned into a beautiful thick gravy.
  • There shouldn't be a lot of gravy as you are going to use this as a filling, so cook till gravy reduces. Pour the cream. Mix well. Add in coriander leaves.

to made the bread dough:

  • In a bowl, add all the ingredients and knead well until you get a smooth dough.
    I kneaded it for 8 minutes in the stand mixer with dough hook attachment. You can knead with hand too.
    Place in an oiled bowl and let it rise for 2 hours until doubled in size.

to make the sauce:

  • mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

to assemble:

  • Punch down the risen dough and take small lemon sized dough balls and flatten it with your hand or with a roller.
  • place the chicken filling in the middle and fold it in half without sealing the edges.
  • Place each chicken filled dough on a lined baking tray.
  • Do not pack the bread dough too tightly or else it wont get cooked all the way through.
  • Once assembled, let it rise again for half an hour
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the bread gets cooked completely.
  • Once out of the oven, brush melted butter generously.
  • Drizzle prepared sauce all over and serve
