Method
Step 1 of 7
Preheat your oven to 200 or 210 fan forced. Heat an oven tray until needed.
Step 2 of 7
Mix together all your marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cut your thigh fillets to whichever size you like. Marinate them in the marinade mix for at least 20 minutes, longer is fine but not essential.
Step 3 of 7
Place your marinated chicken in a single layer & cook in the oven for about 30 minutes. I turn chicken over halfway through. Remove from oven & start your sauce.
Step 4 of 7
Sauce: In a saucepan add your tinned or chopped tomatoes with 1/2 cup water, garlic, ginger, cloves, cardamom, garam masala, fenugreek leaves, Kashmiri chilli powder, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt & cream. Bring to the boil & simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 5 of 7
Take out the bay leaves. With your stick blender or blender, purée to a fine consistency.
Step 6 of 7
Add your chicken pieces that were cooked in the marinade, leaving the marinade juices behind as it might be too salty.
Step 7 of 7
Bring it to a gentle simmer & add your butter. Cook a further few minutes until your sauce is nice & glossy.
