Instructions
1
Marinate the Chicken by adding lemon juice, salt, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and paprika to the chicken. Mix well, cover, and rest for at least 1 hour.
2
Roughly chop the onion and tomato. Sauté them with cashews and coriander until soft and fragrant. Let this mixture cool completely, then add some water and blend into a smooth paste.
3
Transfer the blended paste to a pan.
4
Add salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, kasuri methi and tomato paste. Slow cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer.
6
Air fry at 195–200°C for 10 minutes until lightly charred and cooked through.
7
Add the air-fried chicken to the gravy. Pour in cream and add butter. Simmer on low flame for 5–10 minutes until rich and creamy.
8
Blend the garlic with butter, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to form a smooth garlic butter compound.
9
Assemble the Garlic Bread. Slice the bread loaf. Spread a generous layer of garlic butter. Top with butter chicken. Finish with lots of mozzarella cheese.
10
Bake at 165–170°C for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden.
11
Slice, serve hot, and enjoy that cheesy, garlicky butter chicken goodness.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Spices in Oil 🔥Heat oil until shimmering before adding whole spices (cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, peppercorns) for 30-45 seconds to unlock their essential oils and deepen flavor intensity throughout the sauce.
- Marinate Chicken in Yogurt & Ginger-Garlic 🥛Coat boneless chicken in Greek yogurt mixed with ginger-garlic paste for at least 2 hours before cooking to tenderize the meat and allow spices to penetrate deeply for maximum flavor.
- Create a Smooth Tomato Base 🍅Blend roasted tomatoes with tomato paste into a silky puree before adding to your sauce to eliminate chunks and ensure the creamy butter chicken has a luxurious, velvety texture.
- Toast Garlic Bread Butter Separately ✨Mix softened butter with minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and mozzarella off-heat, then spread on bread and toast at 375°F for exactly 6-8 minutes to achieve golden crispness without burning.
- Finish with Cold Butter & Fresh Cilantro 🌿Whisk a knob of cold butter into the finished sauce off-heat and garnish with fresh cilantro just before serving to add richness, shine, and bright herbal notes that elevate the entire dish.
