Layering the Lasagna

- Place 5 uncooked lasagna sheets on top (adjust the way you place the lasagna sheet according to the shape of your baking dish)
- Spread half of the butter chicken evenly on top of the lasagna sheet. Spread the butter chicken evenly to cover the uncooked noodles. Sprinkle half-cup mozzarella cheese and some of the minced cilantro garlic.
- Repeat the layers. Add ¼ cup warm water to the pan to scrape off the sauce. Spread it evenly on the top of the lasagna. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with Aluminum foil. Bake the lasagna at 365 F for 40-45 minutes. Serve it immediately.
