This is my take on butter chicken. There are 4 main steps in the process: marinate the chicken, cook the chicken, make the sauce, then stew. You will need a stick blender.
[Marinate]
1. Debone and deskin the chicken thighs. Cut the thighs into large chunks, about an inch cubed. (20 min)
2. Place the thighs in a container. Add in the sour cream. Then add: 2 T paprika + 2 T turmeric (for color), 1 T curry powder + 1 T garam masala (for flavor), and 2 t salt. Evenly coat the yogurt and spice over the chicken. Marinate overnight.
[Cooking the Chicken]
1. Heat oil in a stock pot at med high heat. Cook the chicken thighs in batches, stirring every minute or so for about 5 minutes. (15 min)
2. Remove the chicken, leave the pot.
[The Sauce]
1. With the pot still on med-high heat, add the diced onions and saute it. (4 min)
2. Add in the garlic and saute until fragrant (1 min).
3. Deglaze the bottom of the pot with the vinegar. Use a wooden spoon. (1 min)
4. Pour in both cans of tomatoes. Add some water (idk). Add in 8 T chili powder, 4 T curry powder, 2 T garam masala. Turn the heat to high, let it boil, then turn the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20 min. (25 min)
5. Use a stick blender to mix the tomatoes, onions, and garlic into a homogenous puree. (5 min)
[The Stew]
1. Pour the sauce into another pot through a sieve. Use a silicon spatula to push the sauce through. (4 min)
2. Heat the sauce at med heat. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add in a whole stick of butter and 3/4 cup (12 T) heavy cream. Mix it and let it stew uncovered for 15 min. (16 min)
3. Add salt to taste (try 1/2 teaspoon). Add sugar to taste (try 3 tablespoon).
4. Serve with rice and garnish with cilantro.
