- Dice the chicken. Mix it with yogurt, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and spices (garam masala, cumin, chili, salt). Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
- Sauté the chicken in a hot skillet until it's cooked through. Remove it from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion. Add the tomatoes, garlic, spices, and butter. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, then blend the sauce until smooth.
- Pour the cream into the blended sauce, add the sautéed chicken, and cook together for another 5 minutes.
- Divide the risen dough into 6 portions and roll them out. Place a portion of mozzarella and the prepared butter chicken in the center of each round of dough. Fold the dough over, enclosing the filling inside.
