Mix ground chicken with finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt until well combined.

Form the mixture into small balls (koftas) and set aside.

Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat until melted.

Add the koftas to the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove koftas from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add more butter if needed and sauté finely chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in ginger and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add tomato puree and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and darkens.

Stir in heavy cream and kasuri methi, simmering for 3-4 minutes until well combined.

Return the koftas to the pan, coating them in the sauce, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
