Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with minced garlic, minced ginger, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the chicken and set aside to marinate.

2. 2

   In a large pan or pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and sauté until softened and translucent.

3. 3

   Stir in the cumin, garam masala, coriander, and sugar. Cook for a minute until the spices are fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the tomato passata and stir to combine with the onion and spice mixture.

5. 5

   Add the marinated chicken to the sauce. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

6. 6

   Stir in the heavy cream and finish with fresh chopped cilantro.

7. 7

   Prepare the naan by taking portions of the naan dough and stuffing them with shredded cheese.

8. 8

   Roll out the stuffed dough and cook on a hot skillet until bubbly and charred on both sides. Brush with garlic butter if desired.

Notes

Quantities were estimated based on visual evidence from the video as the source provided a link for full details rather than listing measurements in the description. The naan dough is typically a yeast-based flatbread dough.
