Making Quick & Easy Homemade Butter Chicken is as simple as following these straightforward steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine cubed chicken with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of garam masala. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and brown it. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and golden brown.
4. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.
5. Add Spices: Add garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir well and cook for another minute.
6. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Blend Sauce: Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the sauce for a smoother texture. Return to the skillet.
8. Add Cream: Slowly stir in the heavy cream, mixing until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes.
9. Combine Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm it through and coat it in sauce.
10. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
