Salt to taste
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp sugar
1 cup unsweetened heavy whipping cream

For the garlic butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3–4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Pinch of salt
To assemble:
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 loaf bread
Method: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with salt, coriander, red chili powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, black pepper, garam masala, yogurt, oil, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 min.
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked. Remove and slice the chicken
and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onions over medium heat until soft and lightly golden (about 5–7 minutes). Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 30 sec. Add tomato paste and cook for 1–2 min. Mix in salt, coriander, red chili powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and garam masala. Cook for another minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until smooth. Simmer gently for 6-7 min until thickened. Add butter and stir until melted.
In a bowl, mix butter with garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt until combined.
Preheat oven to 400F . Spread garlic butter over a halved loaf of bread. Add the butter chicken sauce mixture over the bread. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and sliced chicken pieces on top. Add more butter chicken sauce on top. Bake it for 12-15 min or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Slice and serve.
