In its purest form, the dish is one of yogurt- and spice-marinated meat, prepared using onions, ginger, and tomatoes, and scented with garam masala, cumin and turmeric. In restaurants, it is often cooked in a tandoor – a large, urn-shaped oven – giving it a deep, caramelised flavour. The generous amounts of butter and cream used make it wildly luxurious — South China Morning Post.

Give this easy recipe a try this Sunday, and if you want to make it extra special, pair it with some Keto Buns. For this recipe, I’ve used freshly ground peppercorns, but if you have young kids at home, you can always replace them with freshly ground pepper powder.
