2 tbsp of Cayenne
4 tbsp of Paprika
2 tbsp of Garam Masala
2 tbsp of Pepper
1 tbsp of Cumin

Salt to Taste
6-9 Chicken Thighs
One bunch of Cilantro
Naan
1 tsp of sugar
1/2 cup of warm water
2.25 tsp of active dry yeast (1 packet)
2.25 cups AP flour
1/2 cup full-fat yogurt
1 tsp salt
4-5 tbsp of Ghee (1 tbsp for the dough)
Instructions
For your butter chicken,
Add all of your spices into a small bowl and use half of them for your gravy and the other half for your chicken
Then add into a large mixing bowl, your 6-9 chicken thighs, lemon zest, half of your spice mix, garlic, ginger, your red food coloring, lemon juice, and yogurt, and mix until fully combined
Then, broil until fully cooked and set aside
For your gravy, cut your onions and cook them with your garlic, ginger, spices, and ¾ stick of butter
Then add in your tomatoes and reduce by half.
Once reduced, blend in enough water and heavy cream until it is your desired consistency.
Then add in your tandoor chicken, chopped cilantro, and garnish with heavy cream
Enjoy everyone.
For your dough, add the sugar, warm water, and yeast to a bowl; then leave it aside for 10 minutes, or until it has foamed.
After that, add the remaining ingredients and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the surface is smooth and elastic.
Once your dough is kneaded, proof it for 2 hours for the best results.
After proofing, split your dough into 6-8 pieces and roll it out with a small amount of flour.
Once rolled, place it onto a very hot skillet or any hot pan and cook until it is nice and golden brown.
Once cooked, brush with ghee and garnish with Garlic cilantro.
