Steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and salt. Add the chicken chunks and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

3. Prepare the Sauce: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until golden brown. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
4. Make the Curry: Stir in the tomato puree, cumin, paprika, and garam masala. Cook for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the baked chicken pieces to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with basmati rice or naan bread.
