Basic Chicken Tikka Masala (or Butter Chicken Base)

A simple, classic Indian masala base for chicken tikka masala or butter chicken. Uses browned onions, ginger-garlic-chili paste, tomatoes, and warm spices cooked until the oils release — resulting in a versatile sauce you can finish with chicken, paneer, or vegetables. Option to make it creamier with soaked cashews for a butter chicken variation.
