## Ingredients List

### For the Butter Chicken:
– 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece ginger, grated
– 2 medium tomatoes, pureed
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon cumin powder
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

### For the Sides:
– 4-5 pieces of naan or rice (for serving)
– 1 cucumber, sliced (for raita)
– 1 cup plain yogurt (for raita)
– 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder (for raita)
– Salt to taste (for raita)

## Instructions/Steps

1. **Marinate the Chicken**: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

2. **Cook the Chicken**: In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

3. **Add Tomatoes and Spices**: Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture. Add garam masala, cumin powder, and the marinated chicken to the pan. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. **Make it Creamy**: Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer on low for another 5 minutes, adjusting salt if necessary.

5. **Prepare the Raita**: While the butter chicken is simmering, combine the plain yogurt, roasted cumin powder, and salt in a bowl. Add sliced cucumber and mix well. This refreshing raita will perfectly complement your Butter Chicken Combo.

6. **Serve**: Serve the Butter Chicken with warm naan or a bed of fragrant rice. Top with chopped coriander leaves for garnish. Don’t forget the raita on the side!
