Oil – 2 Tbsp
Butter – 2 tbsp
1 tbsp chilli garlic paste

1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp red chilli paste
few sprigs of kasuri methi
half a cup of tomato puree

2 to 3 tbsp cream
8 to 10 chicken tikka pieces
coriander for garnish

Method:

- In a hot pan, add the oil, butter, finely chopped onion, ginger garlic paste and salt and saute the ingredients well.
