Add the tomato puree to the kadhai. Continue cooking on HIGH heat to allow the water from the tomatoes to evaporate, which will concentrate the tomato flavor.
After a few minutes, add the coarsely crushed red chili and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the oil starts to separate.
Mix the milk and cream in a separate bowl. When the tomato gravy is thick, pour this mixture into the kadhai. The color of the gravy will change immediately.
Reduce the heat to MEDIUM. Add coriander powder, cumin seeds, and chicken powder. Stir well and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the gravy is rich and creamy.
Your Marry Me Chicken is ready! Serve hot with roti or naan. Watch as people fall in love with your cooking!

- Use bone-in chicken pieces for better flavor and juiciness
- Keep the heat HIGH when frying chicken to seal in the juices - this prevents the chicken from becoming dry

- Cook the tomato puree until the oil separates - this is key to achieving a rich, concentrated flavor
- Don't skip the cream-milk mixture - it creates the signature creamy texture that makes this dish special
