Summary

This mildly spiced curry was originally thought to be created by a hotel in delhi. the rich butter and cream help to tenderise the chicken, and it is the perfect alternative to spicy curries. as there is a lot of sauce, what better way to soak it up than with homemade naans?

Place the flour, mustard seeds, salt, baking powder and remaining tsp sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the oil, egg, remaining yogurt from the curry recipe and yeast mixture, and mix to a dough. Using the mixer’s dough hook, knead for 10 minutes.
