Cut the chicken thighs into chunks. Mix with the yogurt, half the grated garlic and ginger, 1 tsp garam masala and the cumin. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Sear the marinated chicken in a hot dry pan until browned and just cooked, then set aside.
Melt half the butter in a pan and fry the remaining garlic and ginger with the paprika for 1 minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and remaining garam masala, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until rich and thick. Blend until smooth.
Return the sauce to the pan, stir in the cream, honey and remaining butter, and warm gently to a glossy sauce.
Add the chicken and any juices and simmer for 5 minutes until cooked through. Season and serve with rice or naan.
