This warmly spiced, but not spicy, twist on an Indian restaurant favorite is packed with flavor and has the perfect contrast of bright tomato and rich butter, for a well-balanced and not-at-all-boring chicken dinner. So, it might surprise you that all this is possible with kitchen staples and minimal effort. That’s right: You can create complex Indian flavors with some powerful aromatics—onion, garlic, ginger—and a couple of standard spices. Once you’ve got your ingredients perfectly seasoned, all that’s left is to dump the ingredients in your casserole dish and pop it in the oven!
