Methods:

1. Cut chicken into chunks, place into a bowl and marinate with half of the chili powder and lemon juice.  Set aside.
2. In a heated pot, melt butter.  Add garlic, ginger and stir few times.  Add chicken and saute until turns white.  Add the remaining chili powder, tomato paste, ketchup, garam masala, salt, sugar and water.  Simmer on low until the chicken thighs are cooked through and becomes tender.
