BUTTER CHICKEN
Also known as murgh makhani, this famous Indian dish is probably only rivaled in popularity by chicken tikka masala. Dinner takes on an intoxicating aroma as the chicken cooks in the creamy tomato sauce, thanks to the combination of garam masala and toasted cumin.

Steps:
- Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss together chicken, lemon, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add yogurt, garlic, ginger, and garam masala; stir to thoroughly combine. Cover with plastic; let marinate in refrigerator, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Transfer chicken to a colander or sieve over the sink (do not rinse), shaking to drain excess yogurt. Spread in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning once halfway through with a metal spatula, until cooked through and charred in places, 10 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
- Sauce: In a 2-cup liquid-measuring cup or a medium bowl, whisk together cream, garam masala, serrano, lemon juice, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt; set aside.
- Melt ghee in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook until softened and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in cream mixture. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until well combined, thickened, and glossy, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute more.
- Serve immediately, with naan, basmati rice, and cilantro.
