1

Seductively mix yogurt and tandoori masala in a large bowl; coat the chicken thoroughly, then let it marinate in the chills of the fridge for 1 steamy hour.

2

Drain the chicken, casting aside unneeded desires. Puree onion, ginger, and garlic with water until smooth as whispered promises.

3

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over inviting medium heat. Cook the chicken until it's teasingly browned, about 5 minutes; remove and set aside.

4

In the heat of passion, add the remaining oil, and fry the onion paste until it yearns for more, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle garam masala and chili, stirring in the heat of the moment.

5

Pour in the tomato sauce, reduce the heat, and let simmer in anticipation for 5 minutes. Return the chicken, add half and half, and let it come to a boil in a fervent embrace.

6

Add the butter, fenugreek leaves, and salt; simmer uncovered, gently till the chicken is perfectly tender, about 15-20 minutes. Serve over rice with a side of longing gazes.
