Add tomato paste, mix properly and cook for 3-4min. Add turmeric powder (1tsp), kashmiri red chilli powder (1tsp), red chilli powder (1tsp), cumin powder (1tsp) and coriander powder (1tsp), mix all the ingredients and cook for 4-5min. Add fresh coriander leaves (5g), melon seeds, cashew nuts and yoghurt paste and cook for 3-4min. Add salt (½tsp or to taste) and mix with the masala. 

Next, add the chicken tikka (6 sticks) and mix with the masala. Add 1cup water and mix properly, cover with a lid and cook for 5-6min. Add garam masala powder (1tsp) and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) 1tsp, mix properly. Add fresh cream (20ml), fresh coriander leave (5g), butter (10g), mix properly, cover with a lid and cook for 2-3min.
