For the sauce:

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp garlic, minced (or 1/2 tbsp Garlic Granulated A Spice Affair)
1 tbsp ginger, finely grated (or 1/4 tbsp Ginger Ground A Spice Affair)
2 1/2 tbsp Butter Chicken Seasoning A Spice Affair

Preparation

1

Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, combine the chicken with the marinade ingredients and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2

Brown the chicken

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
3

Cook the aromatics

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and cook the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute, then stir in the Butter Chicken Seasoning A Spice Affair.
4

Simmer the sauce

Add the crushed tomatoes and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
5

Blend

Remove from heat, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Add a little water to help blend if needed.
6

Finish the butter chicken

Pour the puréed sauce back into the pot. Stir in the cream and sugar. Add the chicken, then the butter, and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
