Cut two pounds of chicken into cubes and season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Mix well and set aside.
Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the seasoned chicken and brown it on all sides.
When browned, remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Add more butter to the pot and sauté the chopped onion until softened.
Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
Pour in 14 ounces of tomato sauce and stir it into the spiced onion mixture.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then add one cup of heavy cream and half a cup of water.
Stir and let it come to a gentle simmer over low heat.
Return the chicken to the pot, stir to coat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
