Ingredients
Cut the chicken thighs into bite sized pieces and set aside. In a large pot on medium high heat, add the oil and heat. Add the chicken and cook until almost done. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

Put the tomato sauce, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, turmeric, paprika, Garam Malasa, cumin, and salt in the pot and bring to a slow boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add chicken back into pot.
What's next?
Enjoy!
Turn heat to low, and allow chicken to simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through.
Add butter cubes and remaining 1 teaspoon of Garam Masala. Stir until well incorporated.
You will want to watch the amount of sauce you are using, however. To keep it more low carb, serve over cauliflower rice instead of plain white rice.
