Instructions
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

- Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Prepare the French fries according to package instructions or your preferred method, ensuring they are crispy.
- In a serving dish, layer the hot French fries and generously top with the butter chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle cheese curds over the top and place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese curds are melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors!
Tips

- Feel free to adjust the level of garam masala to suit your spice preference.
- For added flavor, garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime before serving.
