Fragrant with garam masala, curry, and ginger, this creamy tomato-based curry delivers restaurant flavour from your own stove. Tender chicken simmers in a silky sauce enriched with butter and heavy cream, sweetened just slightly with honey to round out the spices. Serve it with warm naan and basmati rice, and dinner becomes an occasion.
