1In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, and chili powder. Add the chicken cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3Add tomato puree to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4Stir in heavy cream and fenugreek leaves. Simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting salt to taste. Set aside.
5For the naan, mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add yogurt and warm water, mixing to form a soft dough.
6Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
7Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape using a rolling pin.
8Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and puffed.
9Serve the butter chicken hot, garnished with cilantro, alongside freshly made naan bread.
