Rinse the basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve and combine with 0.5 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
While the rice cooks, dice the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for 3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the garam masala, turmeric, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper, toasting the spices for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and coconut milk, stirring well to combine, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve the spiced butter chicken over the top, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
