In a large bowl, whisk all the marinade ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic and let marinate at least 30 minutes or up to two hours in the refrigerator.
In a large skillet over medium-hight heat, heat 1 tablespoon ghee. Add marinated chicken and cook, tossing a few times until golden in places, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon ghee to skillet along with onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just turning golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring 1 minute.
Add tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups water, garam masala, and fenugreek, and return chicken to the skillet. Bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and cook, simmering, until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and serve over cauliflower rice, if desired.
