Butter Chicken

This recipe I got from a friend and I must say that after a long trial of experimenting with various butter chicken recipes and after almost giving up I finally found one that I really enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 kg chicken fillets
100g butter
1 onion
Garlic (as much as you prefer)
Small can of tomato paste (about 2 Tbs)
sugar (to taste)
3 heaped tsp chicken spice (any kind)
2 tps jeera (cumin)
2 dessert spoons of Amina's Wonder Chicken Tikka Paste
250ml freash cream
Coriander (dhanya)

Method:
1. Melt the butter and braise the onions in it until nice and brown.
2. In the mean time cut the fillets into cubes.
3. You can either marinate the chicken with the spices and garlic, or braise the spices and garlic with the onions.
4. Add the chicken and the tikka paste to the pot and simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the tomato paste and sugar and allow to boil.
6. Pour in the cream and give it a nice boil.
7. Add the chooped dhanya just before serving.
